Women of Kelley - Lining Track

LINING TRACK

Words and music by Shannon Sanders/Irene Kelley/Justnya Kelley/Sara Jean Kelley

All lyrics clean

Sun beating down the back of my neck
Seems like she ain’t ever gonna set
Showing me no mercy, no respect

Boss man loves to see me sweat
Break my bones to make this check
We ain’t even laid down a whole mile yet

*Swing that hammer now, drive that spike down
I’m lining track
Sing the rhythm loud, drown the devil out
I’m lining track

We ain’t singing for the good Lord’s sake
No happy day, no Amazing Grace
He can’t hear us praying anyway

1, 2, 3, now stand up straight
All together, captain say
Can’t afford to lose another man today
(*)
**Be no statues, be no fame
No one will ever know my name
If I never ride that train, still my life
Is not in vain
