Makin' Thunderbirds Lyrics - The Distance - Bob Seger

The big line moved one mile an hour 

So loud it really hurt 

The big line moved so loud 

It really hurt 

Back in '55 

We were makin' thunderbirds 

We filled conveyors 

We met production 

Foremen didn't waste words 

We met production 

Foremen didn't waste words 

We were young and proud 

We were makin' thunderbirds

We were makin' thunderbirds 

We were makin' thunderbirds 

They were long and low and sleek and fast 

They were all you ever heard 

Back in '55 

We were makin' thunderbirds 

Now the years have flown and the plants have changed 

And you're lucky if you work 

The big line moves but you're lucky if you work 

Back in '55 

We were makin' thunderbirds

We were makin' thunderbirds 

We were makin' thunderbirds 

They were long and low and sleek and fast 

They were classic in a word 

Back in '55 

We were makin' thunderbirds 

We were young and proud 

We were makin' thunderbirds 

We were young and sure 

We were makin' thunderbirds
