lyrics

Over this road there’s a tiny ridge
Get out the tools we need to build a bridge
Road construction!

Early in the morning before others go to work
That’s the best time to put asphalt over dirt
Road construction!

Flyin’ down the interstate at 65
In the corner of your eye you see a sign
It says “Road construction, next 100 miles”
Road construction, there go your smiles

Yeah, things were pretty cool, you were makin’ time
Now you’ll be stuck in South Dakota ’til the end of time
Because of road construction

Caution! Warning! Men at work!
Killin’ trees and movin’ earth!
Caution! Warning! Here they come!
They got big machines so they can do their
Road construction

We got four seasons here in the Midwest
There’s winter, there’s spring, there’s fall
And there is road construction
Jack hammers!
Road construction!
