The Don River Crawl

Verse 1

Smoke

Rising from the valley floor

Dirty brick

Cold rain knocking on my door

Walking down Attercliffe

Heard the hammer on the steel

Lord it feels so real

Chorus

Steel City Blues

Steel City Blues

I got the Steel City Blues

Yeah

I got the Steel City Blues

Post-Chorus

Lord Lord Lord

Yeah Yeah

Right there

Verse 2

No sun

Hard times in the hole

Working hard

Shoveling that black coal

Sweat on my brow

Soot inside my lungs

Singing songs that nobody sung

Grime on my hands

Rust on the gate

Heavy weight

Coming home late

Chorus

Steel City Blues

Steel City Blues

I got the Steel City Blues

Yeah

I got the Steel City Blues

Post-Chorus

Lord Lord Lord

Yeah Yeah

Right there

Bridge

Seven hills

Walking up and down

Seven hills

Looking for my crown

It ain't here

It ain't anywhere

Just the cold

And the mountain air

Verse 3

Taxis

Crowded on the street

Pavement

Burning under feet

Tired and worn

Tired and blue

Searching for something

Searching for you

Tired and lost

Chorus

Steel City Blues

Steel City Blues

I got the Steel City Blues

Yeah

I got the Steel City Blues

Post-Chorus

Lord Lord Lord

Yeah Yeah

Right there

Outro

Walking down the Don

Wondering where it's gone

Just the river

Just the rain

Just the pain

Yeah

Steel City Blues
