Cut my teeth in kentucky, dynamitin coal,
Turned sixteen on a tanker, haulin crude from mexico,
Worked my way up to washington, made the timber fall,
Had a card in every union and I never missed a call,
Put me on the time clock, there aint nothin I cant do,
How can you tell me theres no room on the crew
Chorus:
Theres no room on the crew,
Hell , Ive heard that line before, yeah, Ive heard it before,
Tell you what Im gonna do to prove you can use one more,
Put your five best men together and if they fill my shoes,
Then you can tell me theres no room on the crew
Picked tennessee tobacco till the hard times ran me out,
Rolled steel up in gary, they closed that big mill down,
I did my best in detroit city, they cut production back,
Worked hard on the seaboard, for the railroad laying track,
I gotta feed my family, there aint nothin I wont do,
How can you tell me theres no room on the crew
Chorus:
Theres no room on the crew,
Ive heard that line before, Ive heard it before,
Tell you what Im gonna do to prove you can use one more,
Put your five best men together and if they fill my shoes,
Then you can tell me theres no room on the crew
Chorus:
Theres no room on the crew,
Ive heard that line before, oh before,
Tell you what Im gonna do to prove you can use one more,
Put your five best men together and if they fill my shoes,
Then you can tell me theres no room on the crew,
Then you can tell me... theres no room on the crew
