Concrete Cowboys 1

[verse 1] My dad and I worked together, for over 20 years Dug footers, tied miles of rebar More than most men would fear Rolled and cut tons of wire mesh We have the scars to prove it [pre-chorus] But the best part of the day How we made our pay Was when we backed those concrete trucks [chorus] We were concrete cowboys and best friends Pouring mud together Swinging our trowels till the daylight ends Just a dad and his boy, side by side We worked together like rock, sand and cement, it was great [verse 2] Mud sliding down the chute and onto the slab I’d fill a wheelbarrow and dump it in a pad Dad grabbed the bull float, muds getting hot Jumped on knee boards and gave it all we got [repeat chorus] Just a dad and his boy, side by side We worked together like rock, sand and cement, it was great [outro] But age caught up, only memories remain This was our fate Concrete Cowboys
