Seventy Feet of Steel (Blues Rock Jam)

[Verse 1]
Out by the river where the spruces lean,
We found a sleeping giant in the weeds and green,
Rivets like stars in a midnight sky,
Seventy feet of steel and a reason why.

[Verse 2]
We hauled her home on a frosty night,
Shop lights glowing like a harbor light,
Neighbors all whisper, “Son, you lost your mind,”
But a bridge finds purpose if you give it time.

[Chorus]
It’s seventy feet of pure steel pride,
Built to carry hearts to the other side,
Let the Wasi run and the north wind ride,
Seventy feet of pure steel pride.

[Verse 3]
Grind off the rust, set the beams just so,
Measure twice, mark lines in the snow,
Someday soon when the footings dry,
We’ll walk that span with our heads held high.

[Chorus]
It’s seventy feet of pure steel pride,
Built to carry hearts to the other side,
Let the Wasi run and the north wind ride,
Seventy feet of pure steel pride.

[Banjo Break — 8 bars]
[Fiddle Break — 8 bars]

[Chorus]
It’s seventy feet of pure steel pride,
Built to carry hearts to the other side,
Let the Wasi run and the north wind ride,
Seventy feet of pure steel pride.

[Chorus — tag last line]
Seventy feet… of pure steel pride.
