Sort of 'Alt-Folk' - Bruce meets Woody, but in support of a working man who worked on something of questionable value...
itty bitty city music

Story behind the song
Just liked the words that made the title... got to thinking how the title was built... and this '60's version of 'The Grapes of Wrath" sort of spilled over the spillway...
Lyrics
GLEN CANYON DAM © 2009 Author: G. Smith/K. Reardon V I: Workin' on that Glen Canyon Dam; A long way from north Alabam’, The Colorado’s so wild and free, It ain’t nothin’ like the Tennessee, And that kind of change’s been good for me So I’m workin’ … on that Glen Canyon Dam. Workin’ on that Glen Canyon Dam; On a breakfast of biscuits and ham; Twelve hour days just a pourin’ concrete, Puts food on the table and shoes on our feet, Some people say its no good, and we shouldn’t be … Workin’ … on that Glen Canyon Dam. Chorus: Glen Canyon Dam … mistake or grand plan 5 million yards of blood, sweat and sand Glen Canyon Dam … long may you stand Cause you made a life for me V II: Workin’ on that Glen Canyon Dam, Has made me the man that I am; I was only gonna stick around one year, But it seems that now I’ve built a life out here, Guess it’s kind of funny what a man holds dear. When he’s workin’ … on that Glen Canyon Dam. Instrumental Break: Chorus: Glen Canyon Dam … mistake or grand plan 5 million yards of blood, sweat and sand Glen Canyon Dam … long may you stand Cause you made a life for me V III: Workin’ on that Glen Canyon Dam; I’ve been workin’ on that Glen Canyon Dam; If I’d known then what I know now, I’d take that job there any how, Cause I left me a mark on this life and I’m proud About workin’ … on that Glen Canyon Dam.
