lirik lagu joe grushecky & the houserockers - homestead (live)

[verse 1]
i was born in the corn fields of kentucky
moved north in ’73
the war was still going strong, so i found a job
rolling steel in a foundry in homestead

[verse 2]
i worked beside a guy named grzybowski
taught me how to keep safe
said there’s many a man who lost the fingers from their hands
you can wind up crippled or dead in homestead

[verse 3]
and the steel glowed in the white hot chambers
the furnace spit fire and smoke
and the sunlight came through the cracks in the roof
and the dust was so thick you could choke
i heard all the old stories about the twelve hour shifts in the mill
all the union brothers the pinkertons tried hard to k!ll
heard about frick and carnegie and the day the river ran red
how the union caved in in homestead

[verse 4]
it was more than a job, it was my family
i got married, settled down, bought a home
and in the bars down the street, in the late summer heat
you never had to feel alone
[verse 5]
well, i got work tearin’ those old mills down
there’s nothing left but the sweat and blood in the ground
at night we tuck our little babies in bed
still pray to the red, white and blue in homestead

[outro]
na, na, na, na~na, na
i’m still living in homestead
na, na, na, na~na, na
i’m still living in homestead
na, na, na, na~na, na
i’m still living in homestead
na, na, na, na~na, na
i’m still living in homestead
na, na, na, na~na, na
i’m still living in homestead
na, na, na, na~na, na
i’m still living in homestead
na, na, na, na~na, na
i’m still living in homestead
na, na, na, na~na, na
i’m still living in homestead
