Prompt / Lyrics
Intro) Yeah… River runnin’, engines hummin’ Tug life, baby (Verse 1) Alarm goes off ‘fore the sun even thinkin’ Steel toe boots and the coffee still drinkin’ Walk down the dock where the diesel’s perfumin’ Old tug rumblin’, you can feel what it’s doin’ Lines in my hands, yeah the rope burn real Wind off the water got a bite you can feel Pushin’ them barges through the fog and the rain Big river grind, yeah the work ain’t a game Captain on the radio callin’ out the turn Deckhand life, yeah you gotta really learn Knot after knot, keep the rig run tight Moon on the water on the middle watch night (Chorus) Pushin’ steel down the river all night Engines roar while the spotlight bright Mud on the boots, sweat on the shirt Tugboat life yeah we live that work From the dock to the bend where the big ships float Whole lotta pride on a little tugboat (Verse 2) Hands smell like diesel, pockets got grit Life on the river man you gotta commit Storm rollin’ in but the tow still movin’ Riverboat rhythm got the whole crew groovin’ Chain clank loud when the current gets mean River run wild but we keep it between Barge after barge like a floating train Pushin’ that weight through the wind and rain Sun come up paintin’ gold on the tide Pelicans flyin’ while the barges glide Forty hours deep but the grind still strong River in my blood like a lifelong song (Chorus) Pushin’ steel down the river all night Engines roar while the spotlight bright Mud on the boots, sweat on the shirt Tugboat life yeah we live that work From the dock to the bend where the big ships float Whole lotta pride on a little tugboat (Bridge) Not everybody built for the river’s call Cold wind blowin’ while the big waves crawl But the crew stand tall when the tow runs wide River made men with the water as a guide (Final Chorus) Pushin’ steel down the river all night Engines roar while the spotlight bright Hands on the line keep the tow in sight Tugboat crew yeah we built for the fight From the dock to the bend where the big ships float Whole lotta pride on a little tugboat (Outro) Yeah… Diesel smoke in the sunrise glow If you know, you know… tugboat flow.
