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
I wanna see my Blue Eyed Sally
Headed down to the union rally
Show the boss who's the boss of who
5 O'clock and the whistle's blowin'
It feels so good just knowing
When I get home I'll be lying next to you
When I get home I'll be lying next to you
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 trying to take flight but I'm underground in the constant night
Things'll never look too bright just a darker shade of blue
I wanna see my Blue Eyed Sally
Headed down to the union rally
Show the boss who's the boss of who
5 O'clock and the whistle's blowin'
It feels so good just knowing
When I get home I'll be lying next to you
Oh babe, when I get home ill be lying next to you
Stand still
The days keep leavin'
Never had much to believe in
Money ain't all that they're stealin'
And what's a man to do
No one here to take my side
I think of you to feel alright
I know I'll never see that light but I do it all for you
I wanna see my Blue Eyed Sally
Headed down to the union rally
Show the boss who's the boss of who
5 O'clock and the whistle's blowin'
It feels so good just knowing
When I get home I'll be lying next to you
When I get home I'll be lying next to you
When I get home I'll be lying next to you
