I wrecked my first car on Burton Rd First time I saw life flash before my eyes On my 18th birthday I fell in the lake Closest I ever got to being baptized Drinkin' VB in the back seat Of Ben's yellow Toyota Some nights I close my eyes and go there That old light house shining down Sound of a rowdy home game crowd The gravel road to my childhood house, in the The heart of a steel town They're out racing V8's in the streets, and Counting coal ships from the beach Part of me will always be The heart of a steel town I played my first show at the Cambridge Hotel For free beer, and 3 people And one of 'em was my dad Spent 6 years in an old van With my brother and an old friend Playin' bar shows every weekend Til we ran outta gas Bought a one way to Nashville Swore I wouldn't look back But these days I can't help but miss that That old light house shining down Sound of a rowdy home game crowd The gravel road to my childhood house, in the The heart of a steel town They're out racing V8's in the streets, and Counting coal ships from the beach Part of me will always be The heart of a steel town Most of my friends have moved away And that old gravel road's been paved Oh but somethings never change, in the The heart of a steel town, they're still Racing V8's in the streets, and Counting coal ships from the beach Part of me will always be, in the The heart of a steel town The heart of a steel town I was born in a steel town With the heart of a steel town
