A                E 
You work for 37 years 
        Bm                   D       A 
Driving trucks, not shifting gears 
A                      E 
He never got it in his head 
           Bm              D       A 
To settle down, he'd never wed 


A                          E 
He liked the river how it flowed 
       Bm                        D      A 
Unlike the breaker, never to explode 
A                       E 
It had no wires running in 
             Bm                          D 
It just went on and on and on until the ocean got to it 



     Bm                   D

Oh well it's more than a job 
                  F#m 
It's more like a damnation 
               D                 E 
Well it was my life, now it's my loss 
     Bm         D        A 
Holy Cross 


A                   E 
It was a honey of a night 
           Bm                D        A 
He met his maker, he saw the light 
A                        E 
The car was passing on a curve 
                Bm               D        A 
He never slowed down, he never swerved 


A                           E 
And in the hot glare of the lamps 
          Bm                          D       A 
He had regrets; he'd never learned to dance 
A                         E 
There was no angel at his side 
    Bm                                       D 
No, there was a purpose that became homeless when he died 


     Bm                   D

It's more like a damnation 
               D                 E 
Well it was my life, now it's my loss

               D                 E
