Boston Asphalt

[Verse 1]

Searching for the best break the black forties could afford them

Came these ever-proud, world-renowned rowdy, roving men

With a firmness and a purpose that so many did dismiss

Sailed these huddled human ballasts on their stinking coffin ships

[Chorus]

From the prison of their lonely hearts they labored long and hard

A poor, needy, downtrodden, rough and ready sod

Working 18 hour days for the B.A.C

The B.A.C

[Verse 2]

Intelligent, respectable, but made of modest means

With an independent spirit, so full of hopes and dreams

Opportunity denied them in a doomed and starving land

Came these openhearted kindly spirits of a truly threatened man

[Chorus]

From the prison of their lonely hearts they labored long and hard

A poor, needy, downtrodden, rough and ready sod

Working 18 hour days for the B.A.C

The B.A.C

[Verse 1]

Searching for the best break the black forties could afford them

Came these ever-proud, world-renowned rowdy, roving men

With a firmness and a purpose that so many did dismiss

Sailed these huddled human ballasts on their stinking coffin ships

[Chorus]

From the prison of their lonely hearts they labored long and hard

A poor, needy, downtrodden, rough and ready sod

Working 18 hour days for the B.A.C

The B.A.C

The B.A.C

The B.A.C
