Heard of a land held by a troubled hand
Where the whiskey runs the coal
Don't you dare go ask the newsman
Cause he'll tell you everything
She was the daughter of the second American Revolution
A tall girl with a stones constitution
And when she looked into their eyes to see
She know she ain't never going back to what she believe
I'm a man got nothing to show for
I'm a man got nothing to show for
But it ain't the bridges that are falling down
They said they would never fight no more
After the day she went away
What in the world are we all fighting for
If we don't give they're going to take
I'm a man got nothing to show for
I'm a man got nothing to show for
Got my back to the fire and my feet on the ground
But it ain't the bridges that are falling down
I'm a man got nothing to show for
But it aint the bridges that are falling down
Oh that's not to hold in place
Oh that's not to hold in place
Oh that's not to hold in place
Oh that's not to hold in place
