Best Way dry cleaners
Down on the main strip
I've waited twelve hours
To smoke this cigarette
Makes for a long day
But hell I like to work
Drive up town hill
Like I do every night
On my way back home
From down in the coal mine
There sits that church sign
It's glowing again
Proverbs 1 and 31
People get what they put in
Sometimes a man don't get to choose
What he wants to do
He just works his ass off
And he packs his lunch and he ties up his boots
Least that's what I do
I guess I could have run away
To another town in a better place
Oh but gas ain't gettin cheaper
And running sure as hell doesn't pay
There sits the deputy
Right through the four-way
He waves me on by
Cause I'm clean nowadays
It's been three years now
Since they let me out again
No matter where I turn
This town likes to remind
With country parables
On how to live my life
Tell me how's a man to change
In a place that's standing still
Where the time keeps on rolling
Slowly spinning steady like a wheel
Sometimes a man don't get to choose
What he wants to do
He just works his ass off
And he packs his lunch and he ties up his boots
Least that's what I do
I guess I could have run away
To another town in a better place
Oh but gas ain't gettin cheaper
And running sure as hell doesn't pay
Oh the gas ain't gettin cheaper
And running
Sure doesn't pay
