Collection of Irish Song Lyrics
Pushing Dirt
Copyright: 2024
I remember all those summer days
Rushing out the door
Running to the dirt pile
Just like the day before
Seeing all the Tonka trucks
Waiting to start the day
To build the roads and tunnels
From here to Santa Fe
Chorus
Pushing dirt For all Its worth
Seems I spent most my days
Reshaping planet Earth
Didnt care how much it pays
I ll try to make a better life
For the children I will raise
I m pushing dirt for all its worth
So we ll see better days
School days were a drag
Trying to find our path
I knew my answers werent found
In history and math
But when classes all were over
We d climb out of that rut
And go racing through the woods
Pushing dirt in Chevy trucks
October you would find us
On the field and under lights
Earning yards of dirt
On every Friday night
But pushing dirt to build a world
Just seemed to me first class
A job to take to my old age
I knew that it would last
Chorus
Pushing dirt For all Its worth
Seems I spent most my days
Reshaping planet Earth
Didnt care how much it pays
I ll try to make a better life
For the children I will raise
I m pushing dirt for all its worth
So we ll see better days
Bridge
Ditch witch and Caterpillar made a man of me
John Deer built roads and bridges then I built a family
Back yards, back roads,
Football fields and shovels at the beach
I ve been pushing dirt
My whole life
That kind of dirt aint cheap
Food upon their table
And educations for the lot
Pushing dirt has given me
Everything I ve got
I used to work at the crack of dawn
I m in twilight of my life
Theres new hard working people
To take the daily strife
My kids are grown and happy
And that means so am I
And soon I ll still be pushing dirt
But this time to the sky
