The Hoover Dam Lyrics

My father picked me up in his beige four door car

He said

We're going to the Hoover Dam

It's not very far

He said

There's enough concrete in the Hoover Dam

To build a two-lane highway from New York to San Fran

And one hundred and twelf men died as it was built

But the big Hoover Dam she carries no guilt

Dad why do you tell me these kinds of things

Son, it's good for you and your ten-year-old brain

You need to fill it facts like the ones I've got

Such as the big Hoover Dam she generates 1.8 gigawatts

The Hoover Dam

The Hoover Dam

The Hoover Dam

The Hoover Dam

We arrived at the dam and damn

It was big

But from the winding roads of our approach

I was carsick

Dad said, don't you go and ruin this for the both of us

I'm willing to stay and send you home on a bus

Drink a ginger ale and stand up on your feet

You're gonna have to walk fast to keep up with me

The Hoover Dam

The Hoover Dam

The Hoover Dam

The Hoover Dam

I looked over my shoulder to the back of my four door car

I say, we're going to the Hoover Dam, it's not very far
