[Verse 1]
In a steel town
It's all fun and games ‘til graduation
When you work 51 or take one for vacation
In a beach town
In a steel town
That shift you work is what the world revolves round
When that whistle winds, it's someone's time to wind down
Over a cold round
[Chorus]
In a steel town you learn how
To bend and not break
How to hang in, how to cut loose
How to find a way
How to start with nothing, build it from the ground
Everything that matters most I learned about
[Verse 2]
In a steel town
All the talk is football and the weather
And it always seems next season's looking better
Than right now
Yeah, in a steel town
Your boots and jeans and shirts and cars are passed down
There's not a lot but there's enough to go around
I found
[Chorus]
In a steel town you learn how
To bend and not break
How to hang in, how to cut loose
How to find a way
How to start with nothing, build it from the ground
Everything that matters most I learned about
In a steel town
In a steel town, ooh
[Bridge]
In a steel town
We realize we're all in this thing together
And you learn to take the heat and stand the pressure
In a meltdown
[Chorus]
In a steel town
In a steel town
How to start with nothing, build it from the ground
You can leave, but your heart will hang around
In a steel town
Yeah, in a steel town
In a steel town
