Frank Bengier - This Steel Town

You might have it made I don't know
With a hundred million paid on your IPO
But just keep your blinders buried
On the things that matter most

And you'll never have a son
Never have a son
Never have a son of a living ghost

Remember that summer you worked at the coke plant
Three thousand in the ovens
And you thought that you could melt away
Melt away from this steel town

Three thousand in the ovens
And you knew that you would melt away
Melt away from this steel town

Well, you kiss your wife in the morning before work
Then she sees the kids off to school
And you drive through the same town where you were born

And if you keep your eyes on the road
You'll never have a son
Never have a son of a living ghost

Remember those years you wasted at the coke plant
Three thousand in the ovens
And you felt like you could melt away
Melt away from this steel town

Three thousand in the ovens
And you thought that you could melt away
Melt away from this steel town

Well, I know I ain't where you are
Not much to show for my trials
I realize now I never left this town
Though I traveled at least a hundred million lonely miles

But if I keep my blinders buried on the things that matter most
Then I know I'll never have a son
Never have a son
Never have a son of a living ghost

And I know I never worked in the coke plant
Three thousand in the ovens
But I still thought that I could melt away
Melt away from this steel town

Three thousand in the ovens
And I thought that I could melt away
Melt away from this steel town

Three thousand in the ovens
And I felt that I could melt away
Melt away from this steel town

Three thousand in the ovens
And I knew that I could melt away
But I was wrong
About this steel town
