Dynamite

Freight train running up the Santa Fe Took the TNT blew the mountains away Plum Creek flooded back in '65 We took it on the chin but the plant survived Dad worked the line like his dad did before My folks ain't rich but they ain't quite poor DuPont closed the factory in '71 Said "Thanks and best wishes your work here is done" Initiate. Detonate. Blow it up. Walk away It's easier to just cut and run Away from all the damage that's been done I got dynamite in my blood I got dynamite in my blood Folks from California try to buy up the land Dad won't sell he's a prideful man Everytime I ask if he's gonna leave He says "Son, this is where you're gonna bury me" I can't see living in a dying town It's like I left my soul in the lost and found Every night I say that tomorrow's the day Initiate, detonate, blow it up and walk away Initiate. Detonate. Blow it up. Walk away It's easier to just cut and run But I'm my mother's only son I got dynamite in my blood I got dynamite in my blood It's easier to just cut and run The hand's been dealt, this game can't be won But I got dynamite in my blood I got dynamite in my blood I got dynamite in my blood I got dynamite in my blood I got dynamite in my blood I got dynamite in my blood
