[C]
Pretty nice, been [Bb] a guy's first [Cm] job at [F] work
[C] Talking about my weakness, loving up a [F] girl
Some [Bb] have known her, [C] the family's summer looking to [F] get her
Some going down, used toll-boat wearing trouble on their shirt
How hard for the county, I don't mind, fine
Although the [G] whole world flies once a [F] traffic passes me by
In my head, I keep a picture of a pretty little miss
Someday, Mr.
Rumble will lead a better life than this
Working on the [G] highway, laying [F] down the blacktop
Working on the [G] highway, all [C] day long I [F] don't stop
Working on the [G] highway, blasting through the [F] bedrock
Working on the [G] highway, working on [F] the highway
[C] [G]
[C] [F] I [C] [G]
[C] met [F] her every past hour at the union hall
She [C] was ramblin' with her brothers back up against the wall
[F]
Sometimes we'd go walking down the union track
One [Am] day I looked [Gm] straight at her, she looked [F] straight back
Working on the [G] highway, laying down the [F] blacktop
Working on the [G] highway, all day long [F] I don't stop
Working on the highway, [G] blasting through [C] the [F] bedrock
Working on the highway, [G] working on the [F] highway
Woo [C] [F] [G] [C] [F] [F]-hoo
[G] [Am] Saved up my money [C] and I put it all away
[Am] I want to see her daddy [C] but we didn't have much [Am] to say
It's all I get to see, [C] and she's just a little [F] girl
She don't know [G] nothing about the screw-pull world
[C] Yeah, down the block, [F] we got a [C] long ride
[F] [C] One day my brothers came and got her and they took me in a black [F] and white
A [C]
prosecutor took the [F] promise that he made on that day
[C] And [F] [C] the judge got mad and [G] he put me [F] straight away
[C] Now [F] [C]
I drive [F] every morning to the work of [C] bail [F] clients
Me and my [Bb] warden go a-swingin' on the Charlotte County [F] Road
Working on the [G] highway, laying down [C] the blacktop
[F] Working on [G] the highway, all day [C] long I don't [F] stop
Working on the highway, [G] blasting [C] through the [F] bedrock
