Bridge Buildin' Man

Every morning with the rising of the sun
It was pull on your boots boy
There's work to be done
In the valley over yonder
Where the rive runs between
Folks they're needing bridges
Son you know what I mean

It's time to snig out the timber
Get the monkey in the frame
Land all your girders
Get the decking on the same
Now such is the life of a bridge building man
Pushing on through thick and thin
The best that he can

When the river runs deep and the river runs wide
Well there's only one way to the other side

Now we're building bridges
Gotta build them strong
For when the river rises after the storm
Son did I ever tell you, do you understand
Do you know what it's like to be a bridge building man

So goes the story of my Dad and Grandpa Jack

Ever since I was a little boy sitting on my Daddy's lap

He said life is like a river son it keeps us all apart

You've gotta learn to build your bridges from heart to heart

When the river runs deep and the river runs wide

Well there's only one way to the other side

Now we're building bridges

Gotta build them strong

For when the river rises after the storm

Son did I ever tell you, do you understand

Do you know what it's like to be a bridge building man

When the river runs deep and the river runs wide

Well there's only one way to the other side

Now we're building bridges

Gotta build them strong

For when the river rises after the storm

Son did I ever tell you, do you understand

Do you know what it's like to be a bridge building man
