Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I’m walking down that buffalo trail gonna build a government road
Twenty one years I’ve been in jail gonna build a government road
Buffalo trails just sticks and stone gonna build a government road
It’ll be all paved when I get done build a government road

[Chorus]
Build a government road love
Build a government road
Plowing down my buffalo trail gonna build a government road

[Verse 2]
Gonna grab a shovel in my hand build a government road
Gonna hire up every man that I can build a government road
Tractors plows and engines to build a government road
All be working when I get through build a government road

[Chorus]
Build a government road love
Build a government road
Plowing down my buffalo trail gonna build a government road

[Verse 3]
What you gonna do when you're income is due build a government road
Then we’ll build a railroad to build a government road
Who’s it gonna travel down my way build a government road
Why brothers and sisters build a government road

[Chorus]
Build a government road love
Build a government road
Plowing down my buffalo trail gonna build a government road

[Verse 4]
Where’s this road gonna lead build a government road
To a job I’ve worked and a mighty good theme build a government road
What we gonna do when we get to the end build a government road
Well brother we’ll start right over again and build a government road

[Chorus]
Build a government road love
Build a government road
Plowing down my buffalo trail gonna build a government road
