lyrics

“Steel in My Blood”
Written by Mallory Graham and Scott Tyler
Copyright Penny Jar Publishing 2016

Tell me about your cornfields in Indiana,
Or all your oranges out in Californ-I-A.
But there’s steel in my blood and fiber in my hands--
They can’t grow, grow, grow like those trees in Western PA.

Even though they call me home.
Even though they call me by name,
I can’t go, I can’t go, go, go.

Tell me about that wire you stretched across China,
Or World War losses I have taken as my own--
How you never got that fishing trip you promised to Wyoming,
Though you drove, drove, drove before he had to go.

Even though they called him home.
Even though they called him by name,
You can’t go, you can’t go, go, go, go, go…

Even though they call me home.
Even though they call me by name,
I can’t go, I can’t go, go, go.

Tell me about your cornfield in Indiana,
And all your oranges out in Californ-I-A.
But there’s steel in my blood and fiber in my hands,
You can’t grow, grow, grow like those trees in Western PA.

I can’t go.
