Heavy Metal

Some days I think this old machine is out to get me

Some days she does what I tell her

It's like dancing with a widow-maker forty hours a week

You know I'm talkin' 'bout a big ol' D-10 caterpillar

I don't know why I like to drive 'em like I do

You know it ain't nothin' but a

Hundred and seventy-five thousand pounds of steel

Could be the money, babe, could be the power

Could be I love the way it feels, could be I love the way it feels

But you know she's mighty unforgivin', so you got to pay attention

You know a D-10 can be the death of you

But I get her all fired up and I can feel it in my soul

You know it's hard to tell who's drivin' who

And I can move Alaska all the way to Beirut

I can bulldoze a beeline from here to Peru

I can push the rocky mountains into the sea

You know heavy metal don't mean rock and roll to me

But you know I'm like a modern day mule skinner

I'm drivin' ten thousand mules so I got to say a little prayer every day

Lord, just let me get her turned around

Without fallin' down this mountain

'Cause you know the boss don't like me treatin' his D-10 that way

I don't know why I like to drive 'em like I do

You know it ain't nothin' but a

Hundred and seventy-five thousand pounds of steel

Could be the money, babe, could be the power

Could be I love the way it feels, could be I love the way it feels

Could be I love the way it feels, could be I love the way it feels
