  • 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 Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
