Old 97's - Holy Cross Lyrics
You work for 37 yearsDrivin' trucks, not shiftin' gearsHe never got it in his headTo settle down, he'd never wed.He liked the river how it flowed.Unlike the breaker, never to explode.It had no wires runnin' inIt just went on and on and on until the ocean got to it.Holy CrossElectric AssociationOh well it's more than a jobIt's more like a damnationWell it was my life, now it's my lossHoly CrossIt was a honey of a nightHe met his maker, he saw the light.The car was passin' on a curveHe never slowed down, he never swerved.And in the hot glare of the lampsHe had regrets, he'd never learned to dance.There was no angel at his sideThere was a purpose that became homeless when he died.Holy CrossElectric AssociationOh well it's more than a jobIt's more like a damnationWell it was my life, now it's my lossHoly CrossElectric AssociationOh well it's more than a jobIt's more like a damnationWell it was my life, now it's my lossHoly CrossWell it was my life, now it's my lossWell it was my life, now it's my lossHoly Cross
