the wide-eyed electric rock & roll machine - gold watch lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
great+granddad built the railroad, out where the west was green
he always carried his load, it made him hard and lean
moved back to the motor city, wife and kids in tow
gettin old wasn’t pretty, 3 strokes made him kinda slow

[chorus]
he did his work for so long, he did his work just fine
not knowing ’bout the gold watch at the end of the line

[verse 2]
dad went to work for ma bell in 1963
guess they treated us pretty well, mom, tom, dad, and me
that is until his ticker went bad, they told him he had to go that’s when we packed up our dad, and moved him right on out of thе snow

[chorus]
he did his work for so long, he did his work just fine
not knowing ’bout thе gold watch at the end of the line

[verse 3]
i’ve been at work a while now, long enough to see
what i get at the final bow might not last for me
and i think of great+granddad, at the time of death
some b+st+rd stole his gold watch, after his last labored breath

and we work for so long, and god knows we try
to find a silver lining at the end of the lie
