Jimmy was a rocker – oh how he liked to rock Combed his hair just right And practiced the way he walked Gonna go out tonight and make a little noise He was a steel – working man just like his daddy was Didn't have a choice just doing as he's told It can't be a man better be one of the boys Going to meet little joe at the corner Make sure he's dressed up just right Little joe's been acting like a goner Tonight – tonight Pumpin' iron – sweatin' steel Hearts of stone dressed to kill Pumpin' iron – sweatin' steel You can never understand the way i feel Jimmy's gonna meet maria downtown at 10 o'clock Her old man don't like him won't let him to the house Pop a pill – drink down some whiskey – get a little wasted But that's alright That poor boy got to live his whole lifetime In just one night – tonight Pumpin' iron – sweatin' steel Hearts of stone dressed to kill Pumpin' iron – sweatin' steel You can never understand the way i feel Here comes maria – man she looks really hot Going to give her everything i've got – at last Slides in the chevy beside little joe Steps on the gas and watch her go so fast – she's so fast Pumpin' iron – sweatin' steel Hearts of stone dressed to kill Pumpin' iron – sweatin' steel You can never understand the way i feel
