The Youngers - Heritage

C     F        C      Am Am7 F C
I'm a railroad man
C            F     C      Am Am7 F C
I wake up at three AM
C     F        C      Am Am7 F C
I run engine lo
C               F     C      Am Am7 F C
All the way to Charleston

I save whenever I can
Put half my money towards a pension plan
But there ain't much hope for the working man
When they're shipping our jobs to foreign lands

I'm all American
2 tours of duty in Vietnam
Where's my relief from Uncle Sam
'Cause I've been through hell and back again

One by one they're shutting us down
We're doing are best to turn things around
And they're building on land that’s sacred ground
There ain't much left of the smaller towns

Struggling everyday just to get by
Living on dreams I hope won't die
Trying to keep our heritage alive
Trying to keep our heritage alive

I guess I don’t understand
Is there someone out there with a helping hand?
Someone who leads and commands
Can you hear me down in Washington?

How 'bout some relief for the railroad man
How 'bout some relief for the steel mill man
How 'bout some relief for the farming man
How 'bout some relief for the truck driving man
How 'bout some relief for the working man
How 'bout some relief for the working man
