|
Waitin" til my dyin' day |
|
That's when I pack these tired blues away |
|
That's when I go to lay down in my grave |
|
That'll be my flyin' day |
|
Wondering what i'm workin' for |
|
Ain't gonna be your lowdown dog no more |
|
Ain't gonna bleach an' scrub your kitchen floor |
|
I wonder what I'm workin' for |
|
Making tiny feet for shoes |
|
Didn't have the right to pick 'n choose |
|
Didn't know the freedom I would lose |
|
In making tiny feet for shoes |
|
Working dozen to the nine |
|
Feels like I'm just servin' time |
|
Waitin' in this goddamn line |
|
Hell or heaven I'll be fine |
|
Cookin' nothing in the pan |
|
that's the way life dealt my hand |
|
That'll be my livin' last demand |
|
To get something from this land |
|
Playin' around the toes of time |
|
Waiting for the spark that'll free my mind |
|
that'll put unhappiness behind |
|
Just looking for an exit sign |
