| [00:07.70] | Friday night's pay night, guys fresh out of work |
| [00:12.20] | Talking about the weekend, scrubbing off the dirt |
| [00:17.20] | Some heading home to their families, some looking to get hurt |
| [00:22.20] | Some going down to Stovell wearing trouble on their shirts |
| [00:28.08] | I work for the county out on 95 |
| [00:32.70] | All day I hold a red flag and watch the traffic pass me by |
| [00:37.89] | In my head I keep a picture of a pretty little miss |
| [00:43.08] | Someday, mister, I'm gonna lead a better life than this |
| [00:46.39] | （CHORUS） Working on the highway, laying down the blacktop |
| [00:51.27] | Working on the highway, all day long I don't stop |
| [00:53.51] | Working on the highway, blasting through the bedrock |
| [00:54.96] | Working on the highway, working on the highway |
| [01:07.44] | I met her at a dance down at the union hall |
| [01:11.81] | She was standing with her brothers, back up against the wall |
| [01:17.06] | Sometimes we'd go walking down the union tracks |
| [01:22.25] | One day I looked straight at her and looked she straight back |
| [01:25.29] | So I'm... |
| [01:28.73] | （REPEAT CHORUS） |
| [01:47.45] | I saved up my money and I put it all away |
| [01:49.69] | I went to see her daddy but we didn't have much to say |
| [01:52.07] | "Son, can't you see that she's just a little girl |
| [01:54.20] | She don't know nothing about this cruel, cruel world" |
| [02:00.38] | We lit out down to Florida, we got along all right |
| [02:05.64] | One day her brothers came and got her and they took me in a black-and-white |
| [02:10.76] | The prosecutor kept the promise that he made on that day |
| [02:15.88] | And the judge got mad and he put me straight away |
| [02:21.32] | I wake up every morning to the work bell clang |
| [02:26.20] | Me and the warden go swinging on the Charlotte County road gang |
| [02:29.45] | I'm... |
