lirik lagu tom paxton – i’m the man that built the bridges

i’m the man that built the bridges, i’m the man that laid the track
i’m the man that built this country with my shoulders and my back
i’m the man that built the power dams and oiled all the cars
and i laid down the cornerstone for this great land of ours

i cleared the rocks and timber from the wild new england sh0r-
and i labored long and hard to make it grow
i built the first log cabins and i raised a family
told king george and all his redcoats where to go

i’m the boy that drove the wagons when the people headed west
dug c-n-ls and pulled the barges on their way
i built and ran the factories, cut the timber for your homes
drove the oxen when i cut and baled the hay

i built the old sod shanties and i raised the prairie towns
and i made the railroad run from sea to sea
i raised and drove the cattle to feed a growing land
and the mining towns are there because of me

well, i stoked the mighty furnaces and rolled the flamin’ steel
i operated oil rigs and wells
and when the country needed them, i built the planes and tanks
to send the tyrants down to fry in h-ll

well, my face may not be pretty and my clothes are not the best
and there ain’t no big shots in my family tree
but if you’re wonderin’ who it was that made this country great
you don’t have to look no further, it was me
