about

A song about the spirit of folks in the Rust Belt

lyrics

Driving up and down Ohio River Boulevard
Run down buildings and empty stores let you know that times are hard
But we get rowdy on Friday night for a highschool football game
And after church on Sunday cheer the black and gold again

You might think that they're all done and gone
But let me tell you about that valley son.

They're 6 to 3 to midnight til they get the job all done
Lunch break can't come soon enough, and just like that it's gone
They're helping out and yellin proud and hangin aht dahntahn
You best believe what I'm tellin you
You can't keep the rust belt down.

They may not work down the mill as much since they moved the mills away
But they were raised by a blue-collar man to work hard night and day
They work long hours and miss their kids to barely make ends meet
But they're paying bills and makin cash to strap shoes on their feet

You might think that they're all done and gone
But let me tell you about that valley son.

They're 6 to 3 to midnight til they get the job all done
Lunch break can't come soon enough, and just like that it's gone
They're helping out and yellin proud and hangin aht dahntahn
You best believe what I'm tellin you
You can't keep the rust belt down

They're drinking beer and shooting Jack
Come Monday mornin they'll head on back
But Friday night is all about
Raisin Cain and gettin loud

They're 6 to 3 to midnight til they get the job all done
Lunch break can't come soon enough, and just like that it's gone
They're helping out and yellin proud and hangin aht dahntahn
You best believe what I'm tellin you
You can't keep the rust belt down.
