Nine steps down on a ten story ride One part love and two parts pride Three tons of steel and four miles to go Sinking them down in the Gulf of Mexico Rigged on point, top of the tower Watch for those waves they'll be rising fast Call from the driller down on the shore Derrickhand you better keep pumping that gas No time to think of the girls in their cotton Dresses they wear in the early springtime Memories here they're all long forgotten Nine steps down on a ten story ride All of the boys thought you were a beauty My motivation was a little less kind Come with me I got something to show you Out past the trees where the river runs wild My oh my you were more than I bargained For one time at the five and dime Spending all my nickels and quarters One part love and two parts pride Put the hammer on down, we might just make it Watch your eyes from drifting off the road Drink em on down five for a dollar SongtexteGet it to the man with the weekly load The rubber on the tires burning like a matchstick Blacklist heart on a long ride home Ain't no god just a lifetime of Sundays Three tons of steel and four miles to go Water rising all around your mind The slack pulling fast but you try to stay loose There's a storm rolling in on New Orleans Gonna string everybody in a hang man's noose Nine steps down on a ten story ride One part love and two parts pride Three tons of steel and four miles to go Sinking them down in the Gulf of Mexico Aus Songtexte Mania
