lyrics

I got a workingman’s blues and I long for the suburbs
And I’m on a jet straight for the Ukrane
Thinking about the list that I’ve got to cover
If I ever make it back to the States
I can’t seem to keep the red off my shirt
Now that I remember how my muscles work (repeat)

Got a workingman’s blues, I said “so long” to the suburbs
On a port docked near Hong Kong
Can’t help but contemplate my overwhelming feeling
That the only way I did you was wrong
I am well aware of what’s at stake
Still not the hardest pill to take
The rain tries its best to wash away
The salty sting is my final taste

I got a muscle memory that does not sleep
It could be the death of me
