He held a job at the buckeye creamery
toolmaster of brainerd
he had a way with the old machinery
toolmaster of brainerd
but on the day when the shutdown came
all his old girlfriends looked the same
he rumbled down for a change of scenery
hello, toolmaster of brainerd
Inside his case was a gibson disaster
toolmaster of brainerd
he played guitar like a master but faster
toolmaster of brainerd
he came to town on a charter bus
too young and sweet to be hustling us
he played guitar like a natural disaster
play on, toolmaster of brainerd
A letter came from the buckeye creamery
it said, "mr. master of brainerd
we're going to start up the old machinery
mr. master of brainerd"
then all this old girlfriends lined up in the sky
and told him to kiss the twin towns goodbye
he rumbled up north for a change of scenery
goodbye, toolmaster of brainerd
