You work for 37 years
Drivin' trucks, not shiftin' gears
He never got it in his head
To settle down, he'd never wed

He liked the river how it flowed
Unlike the breaker, never to explode
It had no wires runnin' in
It just went on and on and on until the ocean got to it

Holy Cross
Electric Association
Oh well it's more than a jo
It's more like a damnation
Well it was my life, now it's my loss
Holy Cross

It was a honey of a night
He met his maker, he saw the light
The car was passin' on a curve
He never slowed down, he never swerved

And in the hot glare of the lamps
He had regrets, he'd never learned to dance
There was no angel at his side
There was a purpose that became homeless when he died

Holy Cross
Electric Association
Oh well it's more than a jo
It's more like a damnation
Well it was my life, now it's my loss
Holy Cross
Electric Association
Oh well it's more than a jo
It's more like a damnation
Well it was my life, now it's my loss
Holy Cross
Well it was my life, now it's my loss
Well it was my life, now it's my loss
Holy Cross
