Blue Collar (J. Steele/B. Allmand)
If you don't count the overtime, it's a 40 grunt This American dream ain't easy on a paycheck twice a SSI FICA and state tax, only thing it's good for is settin' a man back
But I've got a 20 in my pocket and I'm gettin' the first And there's a band in the corner and they're rock the house And them girls the Skynard show, how much you wanna bet There all ready in the back pool and smokin' cigarettes And we get lucky, if we play our cards right Chances are I'll end up just trying to pick a fight Singing Whoa all the way home.. Yeah we'll shoot out the Its a Blue Night.
I'm still in that same red brick flat me and hunted down, Cinder block shevles and the green sofa pull out. two years since I've seen her leave in that corvette. When I look this dump sometimes I see why she left.
But I've savin' up my money, started goin' back to school and I'm learning them computers and maybe in a or two. I can start a buisness and if I get it off the ground. I can talk the bank a loan for that place Gina dreamed about. And I bet she'll crawling back, I'll be sittin' here till then Drinkin' beer and throwin' darts and having with all my friends.
Singing all the why home. yeah we'll shoot out the lights, it's a blue collar night
I came home to Gina's voice coming out of my machine Said that LA sunshine is even better than I I rewound 3 more times, called my I said lets go, he said I'm broke, I grab your keys
Cause I've got a 20 in my and I'm gettin' the first round, And there's a in the corner, they're gonna rock the house And those girls from the Skynard show, how you wanna bet They're already in the back shootin' pool and cigarettes. Yeah we might get lucky if we play our right But chances are we'll end up just trying to pick a fight Whoooo all the way home Yeah we'll out the lights Its a Collar Night.
