[Verse 1]
Drill bits they keep on turnin'
This job ain't worth the earnin'
Dark as hell and my lungs are burnin'
And what's a man to do?
It's like being stabbed in the side with a switchblade knife in a barroom fight
Spendin' days thinkin' bout' the nights
And being next to you
[Chorus]
I wanna see my blue eyed Sally
Headed down to the union rally
Show the boss who's the boss of who
Five o'clock and the whistle's blowin'
It feels so good just knowin'
When I get home I'll be lying next to you
When I get home I'll be lying next to you
[Verse 2]
Every day the coal car rumbles
Every step just another stumble
I try to think my thoughts get jumbled
And what's a man to do?
It's like tryin' to take flight but I'm underground in the constant night
Things'll never look too bright just a darker shade of blue
Drill bits they keep on turnin'
This job ain't worth the earnin'
Dark as hell and my lungs are burnin'
And what's a man to do?
It's like being stabbed in the side with a switchblade knife in a barroom fight
Spendin' days thinkin' bout' the nights
And being next to you
[Chorus]
I wanna see my blue eyed Sally
Headed down to the union rally
Show the boss who's the boss of who
Five o'clock and the whistle's blowin'
It feels so good just knowin'
When I get home I'll be lying next to you
When I get home I'll be lying next to you
[Verse 2]
Every day the coal car rumbles
Every step just another stumble
I try to think my thoughts get jumbled
And what's a man to do?
It's like tryin' to take flight but I'm underground in the constant night
Things'll never look too bright just a darker shade of blue
