It’s a technical job, listen to my friends

It’s a dangerous job, a car is coming our way

It’s a lifetime job, doing highway work

I’m a working highway crewman and  it’s all I’ve ever done

But ridin in the county truck shore is lots of fun

Ridin in the dump-truck, three of us together

Creepin down the road, just looking for a hole

Pull off to the side, cars pile up behind us

Shovels in hand five minutes to go

No more work today, go ride around the county

Stop off for a break, down on the river bridge

Make an hour stop and drink a Coca-Cola

Sure does make me tired, doin dirty highway work

I gotta a life time job, working on the highway

It makes for real long days, ridin with my friends

And it’s a thankless job, filling in a pothole

But it’s a lifetime job, because it never ends

At every other job, people seem to hurry

We ain’t in no rush Mr. Pothole he can wait

It a life time job, ridin round the country

It’s the greatest job on earth there is doin highway work
