Westgate
My name is Eddie, I am a worn man nowBut I know where I was that dayHiding from the foreman at the base of the towerWhen I saw the mighty bridge give wayBolts started snapping on the western spanThey sounded like machine gun fireYou should have heard when she came downThe wind blew me over the wireAnd the cold wind blowsDown by the river where nobody goesHell broke free when the bridge came downWhen the bridge came downWe overheard the engineersTalk about the master planSomething about rust and a difference in camberAnd buckles in the western spanWe went back on the job that dayWell they swore blue murder she would never come downI got away with six broken ribsI am the luckiest man aroundAnd the cold wind blowsSongtexteDown by the river where nobody goesHell broke free when the bridge came downWhen the bridge came downWhen you go to work each dayYou think you are going to come back aliveYou kiss your wife and your kids goodbyeWhen you know your going to play to surviveSometimes I lay awake at nightAnd think about the ones who diedThe riggers and the chippies and the boilermakersThe boys who had nowhere to hideI think about how proud we wereAnd how we got a badge all doneYou've got to trust who you are working withWhen the steel starts to buckle in the sunAnd the cold wind blowsDown by the river where nobody goesHell broke free when the bridge came downAnd the cold wind blowsDown by the river where nobody goesHell broke free when the bridge came downWhen the bridge came down
