Heavy Metal (Don't Mean Rock And Roll To Me) |
Somedays I think this old machine is out to get me Somedays she does what I tell her |
It’s like dancing with a widow-maker forty hours a week |
You know I’m talkin''bout a big ol’D-10 caterpiller |
I don’t know why I like to drive 'em like I do It ain’t nothin’but a hundred seventy-five thousand pounds of steel |
Could be the money babe could be the power |
Could be I love the way it feels |
Could be I love the way it feels |
But you know she’s mighty unforgivin’so you got to pay attention |
You know the D-10 can be the death of you |
But I get her all fired up and I can feel it in my soul |
And it’s hard to tell who’s drivin’who |
I can move Alaska all the way to Beirut |
I can bulldoze a beeline from here to Peru |
I can push the Rocky Mountains into the sea |
You know Heavy metal don’t mean rock and roll to me You know I’m a modern day mule skinner drivin’ten thousand mules |
So I got to say a little prayer every day |
Lord just let me get her turned around |
Without fallin’off this mountain |
You know the boss don’t like me treatin’his D-10 that way |
