Sweat Stained Shirts
They tore down the steel mill on
All along the riverbank is silent
These things we hold so true, we let slip away
A Slovaks dream comes true
Chorus:
Sweat stained shirts, thirteen children to feed
Women pray to God for his mercy
That’s how the west was won, that’s how it all began
This is where the ending must be
See it in their faces, hear it in their songs
Feel it in their hearts that have been broken
The old know the truth, the young hold the dream
Those that past now can sing
Chorus
Bridge:
Faded pictures and memories
Faded lives from another century
Never thought that it meant that much to me
William and Katherine, sitting in a tree
So in love, in the year 1903
These things that give us hope, we let slip away
The American dreams funny that way
Chorus
