Driving The Last Spike(Live)

Leaving my family behind me

  • Leaving my family behind me
  • Not knowing what lay ahead
  • Waving goodbye as I left them in tears
  • Remembering all we'd said
  • I looked to the sky I offered my prayers
  • I asked him for guidance and strength
  • But the simple beliefs of a simple man
  • Lay in his hands and on my head
  • My head
  • I gave everything that they wanted
  • But still they wanted more
  • We sweat and we toiled
  • Good men lost their lives
  • I don't think they knew what for
  • I sold them my heart
  • I sold them my soul
  • I gave everything I had
  • Ah but they couldn't break my spirit
  • My dignity fought back
  • Fought back
  • Just fought back
  • Ah can you hear me
  • Can you see
  • Don't you hear me
  • Don't you see
  • We worked in gangs for all we were worth
  • The young boys pulling the wagons
  • We were digging the tunnel shifting the earth
  • It was then that it happened
  • No one knew how the cracks appeared
  • But as it fell they all disappeared
  • Stone fell like rain
  • Can you hear me
  • Can you see
  • Don't you hear me
  • Can can you breathe
  • The smoke cleared the dust it settled
  • No one knew how many had died
  • All around there were broken men
  • They'd said it was safe they'd lied
  • You could hear the cries you could smell our fear
  • But good fortune that day was mine
  • And it occurred to me that the heart of a good man
  • It seems is hard to find
  • Ah can you hear me
  • Can you see
  • Don't you hear me
  • Don't you see
  • We worked how we worked like
  • The devil for our pay
  • Through the wind through the snow
  • And through the rain
  • Blasting and cutting through God's country like a knife
  • With sweat stinging my eyes there has to be a better life
  • But I can hear my children's cry
  • I can see the tears in their eyes
  • Memories of those I've left behind
  • Still ringing in my ears
  • Will I ever go back again
  • Will I ever see her face again
  • Cause I'll always remember the night
  • As they waved goodbye to their fathers
  • We came from the South
  • And we came from the North
  • With picks and with spades
  • And a new kind of order
  • Showing no fear of what lies up ahead
  • They'll never see the likes of us again
  • Driving the last spike
  • Lifting and laying the track
  • With blistering hands
  • The sun burning your back
  • But I can hear my children's cry
  • I can see the tears in their eyes
  • Oh the memories of those I've left behind
  • They're still ringing in my ears
  • Well I'll always remember that night
  • As they waved goodbye to their fathers
  • We followed the rail we slept under the stars
  • Digging in darkness and living with danger
  • Showing no fear of what lies up ahead
  • They'll never see the likes of us again
  • Ah can you hear me
  • Can you see
  • Don't you hear me
  • Don't you see
