Come on Down Songtext
von Ronnie Fauss

I used to ride around in my father′s car
When I was just a kid
He'd say "Boy, look up at them mansions on the hill
They′re drinkin' the finest whiskey
Playin' cards and rollin′ dice
While the every man is workin′ in their mill"

Come on down to our factories
Come on down to our farms
Come on down to our steel mills
We don't mean you any harm
Come on down to our small towns
Come inside our humble homes
This work may break our bodies
But it will not break our souls


I used to drive around in my father′s car
When I was just a teen
Chasin' them girls until the early morn
We′re drinkin' the cheapest whiskey
Playin′ cards and shootin' dice
Becomin' who our daddies were before

Come on down to our factories
Come on down to our farms
Come on down to our steel mills
We don′t mean you any harm
Come on down to our small towns
Come inside our humble homes
This work may break our bodies
But it will not break our souls

Still drivin′ 'round in my father′s car
Got kids of my own
Sometimes a man needs to get away
'Cause the mornings come so early
And the days grow so long
And the nighttimes only bring more bills to pay


Come on down to our factories
Come on down to our farms
Come on down to our steel mills
We don′t mean you any harm
Come on down to our small towns
Come inside our humble homes
This work may break our bodies
But it will not break our souls

This work will break our bodies
But it only builds our souls
