Old 97's - Holy Cross lyrics

[Long Instrumental Intro] You work for 37 years Driving trucks Not shifting gears He never got it in his head To settle down He'd never wed He liked the river how it flowed Unlike the breaker Never to explode It had no wires running in It just went on and on and on Until the ocean got to it Holy Cross Electric Association Oh well it's more than a job… It's more like a damnation Well it was my life Now it's my loss Holy Cross It was a honey of a night He met his maker He saw the light The car was pa**ing on a curve He never slowed down He never swerved And in the hot glare of the lamps He had regrets He'd never learned to dance There was no angel at his side There was a purpose That became homeless when he died Holy Cross Electric Association Oh well it's more than a job... It's more like a damnation Well it was my life Now it's my loss Holy Cross Electric Association Oh well it's more than a job... It's more like a damnation Well it was my life Now it's my loss Holy Cross Well it was my life Now it's my loss Holy Cross Well it was my life Now it's my loss Holy Cross [Long Instrumental Outro]
