Skyhooks - Let It Rock lyrics

In the heat of the day down in Mobil Alabama I was working on the railroad with a steel drivin' hammer Trying to get some money buy a pair of new shoes trying to get a woman chase away my blues Hot head wasted all sweating in the son I won't see a woman till my work is all done Maybe in the evening when the sun is sinking low I'll be out waiting for my whistle to blow Sitting in my teepee smoking out on the track Jiving and singing till my foreman gets back Suddenly I hear the brakeman up and shout "There's a non stop train comin' two miles out" Everybody's jumping and spinnin around Trying to get a line and get the teepee down Railroad owners 'bout to go insane Trying to get the workers out of the way of the train Here comes the engineer honkity honk He's got a train he's gotta let it roll let it rock
