Let It Rock

In the heat of the day, down in Mobile, Alabama Working on the railroad with the steel driving hammer I gotta make some money to buy some brand-new shoes I try to find somebody to take away these blues "She don't love me", hear them singing in the sun Payday coming when my work is all done Later in the evening when the sun is sinking low All day I been waiting for the whistle to blow Sitting in a teepee, building right on the tracks Rolling them bones until the foreman comes back Pick up your belongings, boys, and scatter about We've got an on-schedule train coming two miles south And everybody's scrambling, and a-jumpin' around Picking up their money, tearing the teepee down The foreman wants to panic, 'bout to go insane Tryna get the workers out the way of the train Engineer blows the whistle loud and long Can't stop the train, I had to let it roll on
