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
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
