I worked all my life in a steel town
of Monaca PA
There is only one way to get out
that's steel in your veins
Every morning put my wings on
hoping i could fly away
But this steel town has got a way with me
coming from this steel town and its brown bottle disease
hail mary hail mary hail mary
My baby brother and roger
learned the hardest of ways
i never bet on the races
but its debts I'm still to pay
I grew up tall never having a man
say i love you to my face
Oh how this steel town has got a way with me
coming from this steel town and its brown bottle disease
hail mary hail mary hail mary
