I'm just a 56 year old cement mixer driver who gets laid off every winter for 3 months.I enjoy writing songs and recording them myself at home on my 8 track Boss BR864 recorder.It's just another one of my many hobbies.I just do it for kicks.Just laid back musical enjoyment. I have lots of originals and collabs on my page.My originals are are true stories about me,or people I know,or how I feel about things.Collabs are all efforts of me and my Soundclick friends.Doing collabs is my favorite thing here on Soundclick.Hope ya enjoy some of the tunes.

Lyrics
---------------------- Six o'clock at the changehouse The cage loaded with men The mine is humming It's easy to understand They're missing their best miner The safety crew is searching He's coming from the train That he was repairing He's the man of gold He's the man of gold The lights have been lit On each miner's hat With their coveralls They're waiting at the shaft Asking for the man Will they see his face It's the faulty switch That's held up the cage And the man of gold And the man of gold Chorus He's the man of gold And he is the best He's got a strong hold And this miner takes no rest At the end of the day Out in the cold We'll hear his voice The man of gold They're waiting on the surface Where they'll see his light They're waiting for his badge And to wave him good night They're intent on pushing us And the new tech began And they take his bonus And they know he's a good man The man of gold The man of gold (Repeat Chorus) Clement J Gareau © ,2006
