Song Description

Quarry Boys is about dreaming / leaving your hometown and starting a rock band, rather than breaking rocks in a quarry like the Quarry Men - and finding success.

Lyrics

Quarry Boys

[v]
Blasts in the quarry shaking the town
Quarry men work til their bodies break down
Trains to load, slabs to stack
The school boys walked the railroad track

[v]
This band of brothers had a secret vow
To leave Quarrytown someway, somehow
Got hold of a record from the USA
Spent all night singin 'That'll be the Day'

[CH:]
Quarry Boys, One for all
Quarry Boys, They were bound for glory
Quarry Boys, All for one
Quarry Boys, Rock On!

[v]
Blasted from the quarry like dynamite
Rock n' roll earthquake - they saw the light!
Learned a few chords on electric guitars
And rock n roll songs from favorite stars

[v]
Playing the Clubs, breaking the rules
Wearing leather jackets, the kings of cool
Actin out scenes on the silver screen
Movin', shakin', makin' girls scream

[CH:]

[v]
The boys started writing songs of their own
Watchin the charts, Goin for Gold
Songs on the radio & Headlining too!
Now Quarrytown is in the rear view

[CH:]
