Song For The Civil Engineer

It's a song for the road
 Snakey stretch of tar
 Concrete and gravel
 Stretching near and far
 Those highways and byways
 Lovely scenic routes
 From the mazes of our cities
 To the desolation south
 For every stretch of road
 There was a civil engineer
 And a crew to lay it down
 Through the heat
 and the dirt
 Through the years
 They blasted through the bedrock
 With sticks of dynamite
 They dug the mighty tunnels
 Worked all day and night
 I was thinking about a bridge
 That stretch across a gorge
 And all the time it took
 For the steel to be forged
 For every stretch of road
 There was a civil engineer
 And a crew to lay it down
 Through the heat
 And the dirt
 Through the years
 For every stretch of road
 There was a civil engineer
 And a factory crew
 To forge the steel
 To build the bridge
 Through the years
