Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers - U.S. 41 lyrics

My daddy came a-marchin' over the hill at dawn Had to make that wage, man, that's how we got along My daddy's life was workin', workin' all day long Put food on the table and the children sang a song, yes, the children sang a song. My grandad's name was pulpwood, wore a coat of green Took a wife in '31, drove the big machine My daddy load the lumber, put it on the truck Used to see him walkin' home on U.S. 41, that's right, U.S. 41. Well, all my life's been workin' out the door and gone Got to make that overtime keep us movin' on Need a drink of water to get out of the sun Burnin' up to make that wage on U.S. 41, that's right, U.S. 41. The boss man owns the business, keeps it goin' strong Be blowin' like a hurricane and work like nothin's wrong We got to keep on movin' 'til the bell gone ring Fill her up with kerosene and let that lady sing, oh now, let that lady sing. His given name was Lucky, his wife's name Annie Brown Run outside the law and they chased him right on down Lucky faced the lawman, the captain drew his gun They put him with a sling blade on U.S. 41, that's right, U.S. 41. On U.S. 41.
