guy clark – heavy metal lyrics
some days i think this old machine is out to get me
some days she does what i tell her
it’s like dancing with a widow-maker forty hours a week
you know i’m talkin’ ’bout a big ol’ d-10 caterpillar
i don’t know why i like to drive ’em like i do
you know it ain’t nothin’ but a
hundred and seventy-five thousand pounds of steel
could be the money, babe, could be the power
could be i love the way it feels, could be i love the way it feels
but you know she’s mighty unforgivin’, so you got to pay attention
you know a d-10 can be the death of you
but i get her all fired up and i can feel it in my soul
you know it’s hard to tell who’s drivin’ who
and i can move alaska all the way to beirut
i can bulldoze a beeline from here to peru
i can push the rocky mountains into the sea
you know heavy metal don’t mean rock and roll to me
but you know i’m like a modern day mule skinner
i’m drivin’ ten thousand mules so i got to say a little prayer every day
lord, just let me get her turned around
without fallin’ down this mountain
’cause you know the boss don’t like me treatin’ his d-10 that way
i don’t know why i like to drive ’em like i do
you know it ain’t nothin’ but a
hundred and seventy-five thousand pounds of steel
could be the money, babe, could be the power
could be i love the way it feels, could be i love the way it feels
could be i love the way it feels, could be i love the way it feels
