Lyrics: Bobby works a coal mine Dust in his windpipe Turned 35 got an 80 year old spine Sleeps in a double wide, fridge full of booze He says I gotta get by What can you do?
I bust my ass And what do I get? Another IOU to the IRS And some DC Devil in a Red Corvette I sold my soul but I can’t pay rent 80 hours a week 50 years and you die Doc I can’t sleep Well here’s a pill to get high Boss I need a break But boy you’re mine I sold my soul to a suit and tie
Brandy works the graveyard down at the Walmart Doug long hauls in a Mac Truck real far They’ve got 3 kids and 2 paychecks A little bit of land and a whole lot of debt
I bust my ass And what do I get? Another IOU to the IRS And some DC Devil in a Red Corvette I sold my soul but I can’t pay rent 80 hours a week 50 years and you die Doc I can’t sleep Well here’s a pill to get high Boss I need a break But boy you’re mine I sold my soul to a suit and tie
It’s blind rat racing Running through a maze and They pull all the strings and they keep on taking Half of my dimes and all of my time Sold on a dream that turned into a lie
I bust my ass And what do I get? Another IOU to the IRS And some DC Devil in a Red Corvette I sold my soul but I can’t pay rent 80 hours a week 50 years and you die Doc I can’t sleep Well here’s a pill to get high Boss I need a break But boy you’re mine I sold my soul to a suit and tie
