Intended to be a fun depiction
simply of a working mans, realistic thoughts to get him through shifts
hope you all enjoy
Graft
Woke up smiling, sun was shining
sitting with the curtains drawn
run my fingers and rub my eyes
looking out at where I was born
Step back, let a man graft
after you've had your turn
that's all a man's got left
Count to ten, now do it twice
a denim shirt to hit the dirt
roll up your sleeves, just work
pride really being the only upside
Step back, let a man graft
after you've had your turn
that's all a man's got left
Do the hours, do the days
date the girls and drink the beer
then another shift closer to the grave
might as well live when you're still here
Step back, let a man graft
after you've had your turn
that's all a man's got left
Counting the minutes down
'Cause tomorrow you get paid
me and the boy hit the town
clicking our boots, blue masquerade
Step back, let a man graft
after you've had your turn
that's all a man's got left
