Tallest Man in Tennessee

On the 33rd floor when it’s swaying in the breeze

Got that old tower crane standing right up next to me

Brings me five more tons of steel and concrete mud

I’m a hundred-fifty pounds of muscle fire and blood

You talk about blue collar son

I wear hi-vis green

I’m the tallest man in Tennessee

Tonight I’m the tallest man in Tennessee

I been to the gutter low and low and low as dirt

I done prison and the army paid my debts for all their worth

I made my way by honest work honest as can be

I’m the tallest man in Tennessee

Tonight I’m the tallest man in Tennessee

I gave my mind and my body every morning until late

I gave my knees and my back and a shoulder to the weight

The skyline you see you can’t see it without me

I’m the tallest man in Tennessee

Tonight I’m the tallest man in Tennessee

Tonight I’m the tallest man in Tennessee
