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