This back-breakin', bone-shakin', belly-achin', hard-workin'
|
Two more hours to go
|
Yes, it's keeping me alive doin' nine to five
|
And I ain't got nothin to show
|
Pretty soon I'll be leavin'
|
With the wages I'm receivin'
|
But I know it's gonna be all right
|
Come on, babe, and take me away
|
We got some money to spend tonight
|
|
Pick me up at the station
|
Meet me at the train
|
Have a meal and a shower and a change of clothes
|
I can't afford a vacation
|
But I can take the strain
|
Long as I can be with you
|
Find a way to burn it as quickly as I earn it
|
|
Yes, it's back-breakin', bone-shakin', belly-achin', hard-workin'
|
Two more hours to go
|
Seven long years for the same corporation
|
And I ain't got nothin' to show
|
And tonight when I'm leavin' I'll be just breakin' even
|
But I know it's gonna be all right
|
I shake off my blues when you put on your shoes
|
We got some money to spend tonight
|
|
Oh, I don't wanna stand here and sound accusin'
|
Everybody does their share of losin'
|
If I'm gonna lose it I might as well be doin' it right
|
|
Pick me up at the station
|
Meet me at the train
|
Have a meal and a shower and a change of clothes
|
I can't afford a vacation
|
But I can take the strain
|
Long as I can be with you
|
Find a way to burn it as quickly as I earn it
|
|
Yes, it's back-breakin', bone-shakin', belly-achin', hard-workin'
|
Two more hours to go
|
Yes, it's keepin' me alive doin' nine to five
|
And I ain't got nothin' to show
|
And tonight when I'm leavin' I'll be just breakin' even
|
But I know it's gonna be all right
|
Come on, babe, and take me away
|
We got some money to spend tonight
|
Come on, babe, take me away
|
We got some money to spend tonight
