lyrics

Been hard for the concrete man.
Had a hard year, hard and trying-
down I-95 to the next state line-
to another job site-
he's all night driving.
Bad news comes like a 3 ton slab,
over railways cars and cans.
It's not news to the concrete man,
in his big Crown Vic,
he's all night driving.

No way back to where they'd been,
still attached by their 2 children,
don't know who's inside his house,
but he knows his own foundation.
Prayers and tears and other spirits,
he was not too proud to beg,
cried his eyes out, ears were blaring,
he'd keep on tailgating death.

Back on the road goes the concrete man
had a good heart, though it has hardened.
In trying times you'll find your line,
walk the edge, peak into darkness.
A long night to another job site,
make the most of weathered bridges,
over water, rolling thunder,
scotch, hotel, sleep like the dead.

No way back to where they'd been,
still attached by their 2 children,
don't know who's inside his house,
but he knows his own foundation.
Prayers and tears and other spirits,
he was not too proud to beg,
cried his eyes out ears were blaring,
he'd keep on tailgating death.
