WORKING ON THE HIGHWAY (NEBRASKA OUTTAKE)
As recorded by Bruce Springsteen
(From the 2025 Box Set NEBRASKA '82: EXPANDED EDITION)

Version tabbed: https://youtu.be/YV7qe4zdt38

[Verse 1]
N.C.
Friday night, pay night, guys fresh out of work
N.C.
Talking 'bout the weekend, scrubbing off the dirt
N.C.
Some heading home to their families, some looking to get hurt
N.C.
Some going down to Stovall wearing trouble on their shirts

[Verse 2]
A D A D A D A D
I work for the company out on ninety-five
A D A D A D
I'm holding that red flag, watch the traffic pass me by
A D A D A D A D
In my head I keep a picture of my pretty little miss
A
I swear that someday, mister, I'm gonna lead a better life than this

[Chorus]
D E A
Working on the highway, laying down the blacktop
D E A
Working on the highway, all day long I can't stop
D E A
Working on the highway, blasting through the bedrock
D E
Working on the highway, working on the highway

[Interlude]
D A D A D A D A
E A D A D A D

[Verse 3]
A D A D A D
Well, I met her at the canteen down at the union hall
A E A D A D
She was standing with her brothers, back up against the wall
A D A D A D
Sometimes we'd go walking on the union tracks
A E A
One day I looked straight at her and she looked straight back
