Cleanup Hitter - Shovels & Rope

Everybody’s in this together

Why you wanna break your back

Pushing through the wind and the weather now

Lay another mile of track

He was a friend of mine

His heart was full of flames

He swung that hammer like a hard

Driving rain

Give him a familiar name

Becka’s going out to the dance tonight

Why you wanna cut your tongue

Try to keep it out of the disco light

Thinking back on when he was young

We never talk that much

I never knew her grace

But he was helpless when the light fell

On her face

Nothing ever stays in its place

Woo-hoo

Wash my face in a clear cool stream

Try to shake off last night’s dream

Man it’s hard when you got it down into your soul

Maybe my sister’s just got all the good luck

Maybe I missed it when the lightning struck

Just can’t keep living off rock 'n' roll

He spit a heart out till his mouth

Could take no more

The dust and leather scattered

Splinters across the floor

He never questioned who it was

He did it for

Nail it to the back of the door
