Ben Crawley Steel Company

[Verse 1]
The next train arrives on here at 5:09
I'm standing where my daddy used to be
To follow his footsteps takes me three stops down the line
Down to the Ben Crawley steel company

[Verse 2]
Well, I tried my hand at ranching but this didn't come off
Seems nothing in that for me
It always tried my patience which I haven't enough
I'm destined to work in a steel company

[Chorus]
Just you wait at home for me, little woman (Woman)
By now I should know how lovely you will be
Waiting by the door for me, little woman (Woman)
Now I won't moan when I get home
From the Ben Crawley steel company

[Verse 3]
When Crawley makes the jokes and four guys laugh a lot
Damn, force a grin if you can
I got so many words on the tip of my tongue
To shoot him down
But he'd soon replace a mere steel driving man

[Chorus]
Just you wait at home for me, little woman (Woman)
Although I know you won't be as tired as me
Waiting by the door, my true loving woman (Woman)
Well, I won't slack when I get back
From the Ben Crawley steel company

[Verse 4]
Well, I've had my fill and it's given me hell, now it's time for hate
Thanks, mister for telling me
So I'll shoot if I can and I don't give a damn
About playing it straight
My friends and the Lord knows what he did to me

[Chorus]
He's being staying at home with my little woman (Woman)
Playing in the fields where I should always be
It's hard to forgive my own little woman (Woman)
And to find a job 'cause I just blew up that steel company (Heh!)
