No one on this side of townKnows a good place for a boy to drownThey look at me so strange when I talkI wish I was a tradesmanLearnin' from some beat down old laymanOn some hillside they ain't named yetSleepin' next to mountain fire smokeAnd everyone lately's scarin' meIt's all backdoor deals and therapyThe only callous I've grown is in my mindI wish I was a tradesmanPlayin' with some tuned up tired string bandSomewhere out by the badlandsWay past closin' timeSo if you wanna trade, I'd say it's a hard earned mileWanna sweat likе hell, throw a hammer downAnd know the old feelin' of a fivе o'clock smileAnd know I didn't take no easy way outThere's somethin' more that I needThan accolades and sympathyFatiguin' in the summer heatWhile they smoke big cigarsSo give me somethin' I can't fakeThat rich boys can't manipulateSomethin' real that they can't take'Cause, Lord, I'm not your starIf you wanna trade, I'd say it's a hard earned mileWanna sweat like hell, throw a hammer downAnd know the old feelin' of a five o'clock smileAnd know I didn't take no easy way outEveryone lately's scarin' meIt's all backdoor deals and therapyThe only callous I've grown is in my mind
