| [00:12.50] | My father was a welder |
| [00:14.48] | Down at the navy yard |
| [00:17.78] | Up on the North Atlantic |
| [00:20.10] | Where the winters come down hard |
| [00:23.42] | A union job, some overtime |
| [00:25.99] | Nobody would complain |
| [00:29.24] | He went to work with a humble pride |
| [00:31.84] | Through the snow and rain |
| [00:35.20] | Some things you’re born to |
| [00:37.39] | Some things you gotta learn |
| [00:39.92] | My father built his world on bone, muscle and blood, and welding burns |
| [00:49.94] | After work he did some drinking |
| [00:54.66] | He’d get a little rough |
| [00:58.19] | Just to take the edges off |
| [01:00.54] | But he never got enough |
| [01:03.28] | He’d hang his coat up by the door |
| [01:06.70] | And light a cigarette |
| [01:10.08] | Mama’d take his supper out |
| [01:12.51] | Turn off the TV set |
| [01:15.55] | Some things you’re born to |
| [01:17.96] | Some things you gotta learn |
| [01:21.62] | My father built his world on bone, muscle and blood, and welding burns |
| [01:30.60] | I can see ‘em down at Leigh’s Mills Pond |
| [01:32.74] | With the August sun warming her brown skin |
| [01:38.96] | He promised he’d take her away |
| [01:41.16] | But I think he knew, even way back then |
| [02:10.42] | Mama said, “They’re hiring, no need to graduate |
| [02:16.41] | Maybe your dad could make a call to the 788.” |
| [02:22.14] | I always thought I’d get away |
| [02:24.60] | I thought I could rise above |
| [02:27.58] | I don’t remember anymore |
| [02:30.61] | What I was dreaming of |
| [02:33.81] | Some things you’re born to |
| [02:36.07] | Some things you better learn |
| [02:39.37] | My father was born bone, muscle and blood, and welding burns |
| [02:45.55] | Some things you’re born to |
| [02:47.67] | Some things you gotta learn |
