Line #7 lyrics

[Verse 1]
Line No. 7 that’s what they call me
I’m a press at the but steel-stamping factory
Built on the east side in 1919
Been part of many a man’s American dream
Pressin' out them bumpers, fenders, chassis and doors
Except for a few years around '44 when I
Switched to munitions to help our fighting boys
Proud of the part I played in that Great War

[Pre-Chorus]
But things change
And after 87 years, I guess
It’s time to turn the page

[Chorus]
Gonna miss the laughter and the noise
Comin' off that blood, sweat, and tear-stained factory floor
Gonna miss all them good ol' motor city boys
Cause this is my last night
My last night in Detroit

[Verse 2]
The samе hands that worked them levеrs year after year
Are the same ones that tore me down gear by gear
But I sure do appreciate the pride and the care
That went into loading me in these semis sitting here
Not sure what I’ll find when I get down there below
You know I can’t say I know too much about Mexico
But it seems strange to me to be reassembled so
We can ship back the same parts we were makin' here at home
[Pre-Chorus]
But things change
And after 87 years, I guess
It’s time to turn the page

[Chorus]
Gonna miss the laughter and the noise
Comin' off that blood, sweat, and tear-stained factory floor
Gonna miss all them good ol' motor city boys
Cause this is my last night
My last night in Detroit

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I’m gonna miss the laughter and the noise
Comin' off that blood, sweat, and tear-stained factory floor
Gonna miss all them good ol' motor city boys
Cause this is my last night
My last night in Detroit

[Outro]
Line No. 7 that’s what they call me
I’m a press at the but steel-stamping factory
Built on the east side in 1919
Been part of many of a man’s American dream
Mmm... (3x)
