Boilermaker Blues
By PJ Liles
I got the boilermaker blues/I’m gonna spread them all over this town
I got the boilermaker blues/I’m gonna spread them all over this town
It seems this damn computer chip city needs some good ol’ fashioned
blue collar sound
Seeded a boilermaker by a boilermaker’s son
Oilfields of West Texas, always working on the run
Settled here in Austin, what do these yahoos think?
They think a boilermaker is some kind of freaking drink
Gotta get back, back to the boilermaker blues
(chorus)
It goes swing that hammer, boy fit that steel
Pass the cutting torch another grinding wheel
Welding overhead ten and twelve hour days
Barely make enough to eat but you get paid
Paid just enough, enough to sing the boilermaker blues
I don’t need no modem, no hard disk drive
Internet access so the government can spy
No 64 megabytes of AMD chips, I getting sick and tired of all of
this $#*!
Gotta get back, back to some boilermaker blues (chorus)
(spoken: Now you may ask just what is a boilermaker…)
They build big metal tanks holding oil from Kuwait
All the water towers across the lonestar state
Tankers on the rails, the flare stacks in the sky
You know what our motto is? “Tankies ‘til we die>”
Gotta get back, back to some boilermaker blues.
Went to see my bartender, she can ease my head
She can’t serve me a beer because her computer is dead.
So I go to Las Vegas to gamble and sin
But air traffic control is on the blink again
Gotta get back back to the boilermaker blues (chorus)
I got the boilermaker blues/I’m gonna spread them all over this town
I got the boilermaker blues/I’m gonna spread them all over this town
It seems this damn computer chip city needs some good ol’ fashioned
blue collar sound
