Crane Operator Blues

[Verse]
Steel and gears they grind my soul down
Skyline shadows stretching over this old town
Liftin' up the heavy things but heart is low
Lonely nights missin' home oh it hurts so
[Verse 2]
Hard hat dreams they keep my mind afloat
Radio plays tunes that my baby wrote
Picturin' faces that I love the most
In this steel cage I feel like a ghost
[Chorus]
Crane operator blues pullin’ me apart
Miles and metal can’t separate my heart
Liftin’ high to touch the sky
But low I stay
Missin’ family every single day
[Verse 3]
High above I see the city lights glow
But it ain't the same as the porch at home
Kids and wife awaitin' with love so pure
These empty streets they’ve got no cure
[Bridge]
Rust and rivets
They don’t shine like eyes
Of my little ones and their lullabies
Midnight oil burnin’ without end
Yearn for the time I can mend
[Chorus]
Crane operator blues pullin’ me apart
Miles and metal can’t separate my heart
Liftin’ high to touch the sky
But low I stay
Missin’ family every single day
