i'm the man that built the bridges - the phoenix singers lyrics

[chorus]
i’m the man that built the bridges
i’m the man that laid the track
i’m the man that built this country
with my shoulder and my back
i’m the man that built the power dams
and oiled all the cars
and i laid down the cornerstone
for this great land of ours

[verse 1]
i cleared the rocks and timber
from the wild new england sh0r-
and i labored long and hard to make it grow
i fought the savage indian
and raised a family
told king george and all his redcoats where to go

[chorus]
i’m the man that built the bridges
i’m the man that laid the track
i’m the man that built this country
with my shoulder and my back
i’m the man that built the power dams
and oiled all the cars
and i laid down the cornerstone
for this great land of ours

[verse 2]
i stoked the mighty furnaces
i rolled the flamin’ steel
i operated oil rigs and wells
and when the country needed them
i built the planes and tanks
to send the tyrants down to fry in h-ll

[chorus]
i’m the man that built the bridges
i’m the man that laid the track
i’m the man that built this country
with my shoulder and my back
i’m the man that built the power dams
and oiled all the cars
and i laid down the cornerstone
for this great land of ours

[verse 3]
i’m the boy that drove the wagons
when the people headed west
dug c-n-ls and pulled the barges on their way
i built and ran the factories
cut the timber for your homes
drove the oxen when i cut and baled the hay

[chorus]
i’m the man that built the bridges
i’m the man that laid the track
i’m the man that built this country
with my shoulder and my back
i’m the man that built the power dams
and oiled all the cars
and i laid down the cornerstone
for this great land of ours

[verse 4]
my face may not be pretty
and my clothes are not the best
and there ain’t no big shots in our family tree
but if you’re wonderin’ who it was
that made this country great
you don’t have to look no further, it was me

[chorus]
i’m the man that built the bridges
i’m the man that laid the track
(i’m the man that built the bridges!)
i’m the man that built this country
with my shoulder and my back
(i’m the man that laid the track!)
i’m the man that built the power dams
and oiled all the cars
(i’m the man that oiled all the cars!)
and i laid down the cornerstone
for this great land of ours
