[Verse 1: Classic-soul female lead, big-lunged, tambourine and stomping kick] Thirty thousand pounds of red truck on the fairground road Harness on my shoulders and a rope as thick as gold Firemen up in the cab with their elbows hangin' out Grinnin' like they know exactly what this is about "Honey, you could pull a wagon, maybe pull a cart" I said, "Climb on in, boys, ride along, let's start" [Pre-Chorus: Classic-soul female lead, scorching guitar rising] Lean into the harness Dig my heels into the dirt Every muscle callin' out Sayin' this is what I'm worth [Chorus: Classic-soul female lead, full-throated, stomping kick and snare] Can you feel the pull Feel it in your chest I been carryin' the heavy, honey, I can do the rest Can you feel the pull Strong enough to move the ground Every man who said I couldn't, ride along now Can you feel the pull [Verse 2: Classic-soul female lead, big-lunged, rumbling bass] First step, nothin', and the tires sittin' still Second step, a groan, and the fair goes quiet on the hill Third step, rollin', and the captain drops his grin Ten feet, twenty, and the whole town's leanin' in Little girls in pigtails runnin' with me down the side Grandmas in their lawn chairs screamin', "Go on, ride!" Every man who said I couldn't sittin' in the cab Ridin' on my shoulders, honey, ain't that just too bad [Pre-Chorus: Classic-soul female lead, scorching guitar rising] Lean into the harness Dig my heels into the dirt Every muscle callin' out Sayin' this is what I'm worth [Chorus: Classic-soul female lead, full-throated, stomping kick and snare] Can you feel the pull Feel it in your chest I been carryin' the heavy, honey, I can do the rest Can you feel the pull Strong enough to move the ground Every man who said I couldn't, ride along now Can you feel the pull [Bridge: Classic-soul female lead, vamp out, the band diggin' into one groove while she pulls] Pull it, pull it, pull it home I been pullin' all my life, pullin' on my own Pull the rent, pull the shift, pull the whole week through Pull the whole town with me, now I'm pullin' you Pull it, pull it, pull it home Hundred feet and nothin' left but the finish line I know [Final Chorus: Classic-soul female lead, full-throated, tambourine flying] Can you feel the pull Feel it in your chest I been carryin' the heavy, honey, I can do the rest Can you feel the pull Strong enough to move the ground Every man who said I couldn't, ride along now Can you feel the pull [Outro: Classic-soul female lead, big-lunged] Hundred feet, the line, the bell, I let the harness fall Captain climbs down slow and says, "Ma'am, you pulled us all" [End]
