Paroles
In the 1950s, Brown & Root was the largest construction company in the world. A lot of poor sharecrop farm people running from the Great Depression got common labor jobs working for Brown & Root. In the 1960s, Brown & Root diversified and built all the infrastructure for the Vietnam War. You don't hear about Brown & Root anymore 'cause they got bought out by a bigger company called Halliburton. Lord, I worked my hands In wet cement For the county highway crew I'm the middle boy From a family of ten And poor sons-of-b*t*hes were we Pa was mean when he drank And he always drank And he never said three words to me Lord, it's hell when you're down Don't no one care And it all looks like uphill down there 'Cause you work and you climb And you smell like dirt And you know you ain't going nowhere At Brown & Root, Brown & Root Lord, the rain would come And the roof would leak And the gas comp'ny cut off the heat 'Cause when it rains, you don't work Which means, no pay Which always means not much to eat And there are too many ways to get beat At Brown & Root, Brown & Root
