U.S. 41 Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

[Verse 1]
My daddy came a-marching
Over the hill at dawn
Had to make that wage, man
That's how we got along
My daddy's life was working
Working all day long
Put food on the table
And the children sang a song
Yes, the children sang a song

[Verse 2]
My grandad's name was Parkwood
Wore a coat of green
Took a wife in '31
Drove the big machine
My daddy load the lumber
Put it on the truck
Used to see him walking home on U.S. 41
That's right, U.S. 41

[Verse 3]
Well, all my life's been working
Out the door and gone
Got to make that overtime
Keep us moving on
Need a drink of water
To get out of the sun
Burning up to make that wage on U.S. 41
That's right, U.S. 41
