about

Making History is about a struggle I've seen common to myself and my coworkers on the Railroad. I've noticed that we work so much and find so much pride and comfort in our jobs, that we begin to distance ourselves from our families and a lot of people end up divorced and alone. -So we work to have a family but then our family is lost because of our work. There's not a lot of ladies around in my profession, so you hear about them like they're legends. It feels like I'm doing something important, I stand out, "I'm making history". But at a cost of losing my family and my connection to my loved ones. "what does it mean you're making history, what does it mean if you're not here with me"

lyrics

Daddy’s in the kitchen not doin nuthin wrong
Mama’s in the shower tryna to write a new song
Daddy’s outside doin the best he can
Mama’s workn hard tryna to be a man

What does it mean you're makin history
What does it mean you're makin history

Daddy’s getting tired all these nights alone
Mama hits the rails gonna bring that money home
Daddy’s workin hard tryna understand
Why mama works all night don’t hold his hand

What does it mean you're makin history
What does it mean you're makin history

I got my call its time to go
No matter what you think yea mama hits the road
I got my call no one but me
Mama hit'n the rails makes history

Daddy’s in the kitchen not doin nuthin wrong
Mama’s in the shower tryna to write a new song
Daddy’s outside cause he's long gone
Mamas hard tryna be real strong

What does it mean you're makin histoy
What does it mean you're makin history
What does it mean you're makin history
What does it mean if you’re not here with me
