歌词
Friday night's pay night, guys fresh out of work
周五是发薪的日子，伙计们刚下班
Talking about the weekend, scrubbing off the dirt
讨论着怎么过周末，弹着身上的尘土
Some heading home to their families, some looking to get hurt

Some going down to Stovell wearing trouble on their shirts
一些人穿着招惹麻烦的衬衫前去Stovell
I work for the county out on 95
我在95号公路上为县政府工作
All day I hold a red flag and watch the traffic pass me by
我整天挥舞着小红旗，注视着车流缓缓离去
In my head I keep a picture of a pretty little miss
一位少女的影像常常浮现在我的脑海中
Someday, mister, I'm gonna lead a better life than this
有一天，先生，我会过上比现在更好的生活
（CHORUS） Working on the highway, laying down the blacktop
（合唱）在高速路上工作，铺上柏油路
Working on the highway, all day long I don't stop
在高速路上工作，我可以快活一整天
Working on the highway, blasting through the bedrock
在高速路上工作，炸开基石
Working on the highway, working on the highway
在高速路上工作，在高速路上工作
I met her at a dance down at the union hall

She was standing with her brothers, back up against the wall

Sometimes we'd go walking down the union tracks
有时我们会沿着工会旁的铁路散步
One day I looked straight at her and looked she straight back

So I'm...

（重复）
I saved up my money and I put it all away
我将我的血汗钱存了起来
I went to see her daddy but we didn't have much to say

"Son, can't you see that she's just a little girl
“孩子，你要知道她还小
She don't know nothing about this cruel, cruel world"
她对这个残酷的世界一无所知"
We lit out down to Florida, we got along all right
我们匆匆离开来到了佛罗里达州，途中一切顺利
One day her brothers came and got her and they took me in a black-and-white
但有一天她的兄弟们过来接她回去，我也因此被逮捕了
The prosecutor kept the promise that he made on that day
检察官遵守了他在那天所作的承诺
And the judge got mad and he put me straight away
随后法官生了气，把我关了起来
I wake up every morning to the work bell clang
我还是每天早上循着工铃响起而起床
Me and the warden go swinging on the Charlotte County road gang

I'm...
