Johnny Cash - Heavy Metal (Don’t Mean Rock And Roll To Me ) lyrics

[Johnny Cash - Heavy Metal Don’t Mean Rock And Roll To Me lyrics]

Somedays I think this old machine
Is out to get me
Somedays she does what I tell her
It's like dancing with a widow
Maker forty hours a week
I'm talking about a big old D-10 caterpillar

I don't know why I like to
Drive them like I do
It isn't nothing but a hundred
Seventy-five thousand pounds of steel
Could be the money babe, could be the power
Could be I love the way it feels
Could be I love the way it feels

But you know she's mighty unforgiving
Then you gotta pay attention
Cause the D-10 can be the death of you
But I get her all fired up and
I can feel it in my soul
And it's hard to tell
Just who's driving who
I can move Alaska all the way to Beirut
I can bulldoze a beeline from here to Peru
I can push the Rocky Mountains into the sea
You know Heavy metal don't mean
Rock and roll to me
I'm like a modern day mule
Skinner driving ten thousand mules
So I say a little prayer every day
Lord just let me get her turned around
Without falling off this mountain
You know the boss man don't like
Me treating his D-10 that way
