Chuck Ragan - Congratulations Joe lyrics

Woke up one day And made his way down To the water front as he Did all the days In his 44 years As longs as the ships made it in Stands for a cause Stands for a union For another day is gone A dying breed of workers Who lived to carry on Who died for the age that we're in In a cloudy haze The fog drifted in And men wore his colors Who chose to begin As a younger man Working through his days To carry home the food To carry home the pay Woke up one day And made his way down To the water front as he Did all the days In his 44 years As long the ships made it in The best day was the one Milestone in a marathone On that oakland waterfront Well deserved reward For a hard working one Served and now deserves Whats to come In a cloudy haze The fog drifted in And men wore his colors Who chose to begin As a older man Working through every day To carry home the food To carry home the pay We all have a cause Worth waging war Worth making peace to keep We all have a love Whatever that is Or whom is thee to seek There comes a day If were lucky enough And the cards fall our way, i pray To sit with the birds And take the boots off To sit with the birds And take the boots off
