high steel and memories

Lyrics

the boss man and the boys down at the job, have been lettin' me slide by, and this old hard hat that i'm wearin', can't hide the tears falling from my eyes, while i'm hanging steel in dallas, forty floors above park avenue, from up here things look just toys, and i realize how much i meant to you, well i might boom out to denver, a city that's already one mile high, but then i lie a lot about leaving, and the boys all know i'm not afraid to climb, so i'll just stay here in dallas, chained to the place you set me free, cause loving you's forever, but having you's a thing that just can't be, your memory climbs, high steel in the sky, these days i just don't care, if i live or die, well i just threw down a winston, watched it fall 'til it was out of sight, then your memory hit me in the chest, and i wondered how it would feel to fly
