Steel Town - Steve Moakler

In a steel town

It’s all fun and games ‘til graduation

When you work 51 or take one for vacation

In a beach town

In a steel town

That shift you work is what the world revolves round

When that whistle winds, it’s someone’s time to wind down

Over a cold round

In a steel town you learn how

To bend and not break

How to hang in, how to cut loose

How to find a way

How to start with nothing, build it from the ground

Everything that matters most I learned about

In a steel town

All the talk is football and the weather

And it always seems next season’s looking better

Than right now

Yeah, in a steel town

Your boots and jeans and shirts and cars are passed down

There’s not a lot but there’s enough to go around

I found

In a steel town you learn how

To bend and not break

How to hang in, how to cut loose

How to find a way

How to start with nothing, build it from the ground

Everything that matters most I learned about

In a steel town

In a steel town, ooh

In a steel town

We realize we’re all in this thing together

And you learn to take the heat and stand the pressure

In a meltdown

In a steel town

In a steel town

How to start with nothing, build it from the ground

You can leave, but your heart will hang around

In a steel town

Yeah, in a steel town

In a steel town
