A Country song called "Sunbeam Men" is about working in a Bakery. The long, miserable years of working in a hot commercial bread bakery in Phoenix, Arizona, for 24 years. And how the sweat rolled off my face as I racked the hot bread pans onto the bread racks, which were monorailed to the moist proof box, as the humidity raised the breads to the correct height. Then they were taken out of the proof box on another rail and loaded up into the miserable, hot ovens to bake. We took the pans off the racks with the bread mitts and placed them on the stove, as the searing lids would ride down the chute and then be placed on the pans to make a sandwich loaf. They would ride the bar to the man-made hell and turn the white to brown with a smell with no frown. I cannot count the times we were burned harshly as we earned our paycheck from week to week. The bread would come out and head to the de-lidder as the loaves were taken to the wrapping department for their covers. I despised this role as a bakery man, but my family depended on me, the best I could. Now I'm retired, I do miss the men who helped me on that bakery battlefield of life.
Lyrics
Twenty-four long years in that Phoenix heat,
Racking bread pans, sweat pouring down my face.
Monorail to proof box, humidity rising steep,
The bread climbs up while I hold my place.
Load the ovens hot, misery in the air,
Bread mitts slipping off with a searing sting.
Sandwich loaves covered, baking with care,
Smell of the oven, no joy it can bring.
Sunbeam men, working through the pain,
Burned and beaten, earning every dime.
In that bakery hell, we bore the flame,
For family and home, every single time.
Countless burns, harsh as the afternoon sun,
Peeling off lids down the metal chute.
De-lidder hums till the wrapping's done,
Despised the role, but ain't that the truth.
Sunbeam men, working through the pain,
Burned and beaten, earning every dime.
In that bakery hell, we bore the flame,
For family and home, every single time.
Now I'm retired, but memories remain,
Missing the men who shared that dusty lane.
A battlefield of bread, sweat, and flame,
Brotherhood forged in working men's name.
Sunbeam men, working through the pain,
Burned and beaten, earning every dime.
In that bakery hell, we bore the flame,
For family and home, every single time.
