From the recording Men of Iron and Steel

From my 2002 release, At the Beach

Lyrics

CHORUS
Men of iron, men of steel from the factory's to the field
Share the glory’s of their youth that they lost along the way
Men of iron, men of steel from the factory's to the field
Share the stories of their youth from yonder day

Many games came and went like a roving circus tent
With the ball, sailing high in the wind
Ghost's of Jim, Glenn and Earl still around, if you look
Past the stands of the tattered fields today

People came, saw them fall move away and win it all
Then tell stories of when factories fed the fields
Many jobs, were offered up but the best ones moved on up
To the pros and left the little towns behind


But there's one who remains after college on the plains
Scoring touchdowns for the best that could be found
Growing old, still looks back to the shadows of his youth
Where he worked and played the game of men and steel
