Lyrics

I'm waitin' for my dad
I'm waitin' for my dad
I'm waiting by the tunnel of the plant today
But he's gone, good Lord, he's gone
Those union boys have left the line
Those union boys have left the line
They walked out of the plant today
They're standing at the gate
The Governor sent the National Guard
The Governor sent the National Guard
The Guard came out to beat 'em down
But they stood, good Lord, their ground
Mama said they'd be alright
Mama said they'd be alright
I cried out for my dad today
And she stayed in my room all night
The freeway's littered with trash
That freeway's littered with trash
Pulled a sixteen-penny nail out of my tire last night
Got a window of broken glass
My working shoes are combat boots
My working shoes are combat boots
We stood toe to toe on the street today
There were men, they shoot
Well, the end came overnight
Well, the end came overnight
From behind the desk they called us down
He said "Why don't you, guys, go back inside"
Then we talked about the news
Then we talked about the news
Cuttin' down hogs where we mourn our loss
Was wonderin' who the enemy was
I'm waitin' for my dad
Well, I'm waitin' for my dad
I'm waiting by the tunnel of the plant today
But he's gone, good Lord, he's
