This back-breakin', bone-shakin', belly-achin', hard-workin'Two more hours to goYes, it's keeping me alive doin' nine to fiveAnd I ain't got nothin to showPretty soon I'll be leavin'With the wages I'm receivin'But I know it's gonna be all rightCome on, babe, and take me awayWe got some money to spend tonightPick me up at the stationMeet me at the trainHave a meal and a shower and a change of clothesI can't afford a vacationBut I can take the strainLong as I can be with youFind a way to burn it as quickly as I earn itYes, it's back-breakin', bone-shakin', belly-achin', hard-workin'Two more hours to goSeven long years for the same corporationAnd I ain't got nothin' to showAnd tonight when I'm leavin' I'll be just breakin' evenBut I know it's gonna be all rightI shake off my blues when you put on your shoesWe got some money to spend tonightOh, I don't wanna stand here and sound accusin'Everybody does their share of losin'If I'm gonna lose it I might as well be doin' it rightPick me up at the stationMeet me at the trainHave a meal and a shower and a change of clothesI can't afford a vacationBut I can take the strainLong as I can be with youFind a way to burn it as quickly as I earn itYes, it's back-breakin', bone-shakin', belly-achin', hard-workin'Two more hours to goYes, it's keepin' me alive doin' nine to fiveAnd I ain't got nothin' to showAnd tonight when I'm leavin' I'll be just breakin' evenBut I know it's gonna be all rightCome on, babe, and take me awayWe got some money to spend tonightCome on, babe, take me awayWe got some money to spend tonight
