It's back-breakin', bone-shakin', belly-achin', hard-workin'
Two more hours to go
Yes, it's keepin' me alive, doin' nine to five
And I ain't got nothin' to show
Pretty soon I'll be leavin' with the wages I'm receivin'
But you know it's gonna be all right
Come on, babe, and take me away
We got some money to spend the night
Pick me up at the station
Meet me at the train
Have a meal and a shower and a change of clothes
I can't afford a vacation
But I can take the strain
As long as I can be with you
I'll find a way to burn it as quickly as I earn it
Yes, it's back-breakin' bone-shakin', belly-achin', hard-workin'
I don't want to stand here and sound accusin'
Everybody does their share of losin'
If I'm gonna lose it I might as well be doin' it right
Guitar solo over verse chords
Come on babe
Take me away
We've got some money to spend the night
