Thanks Buddy - Say Goodnight Lyrics

We never get the chance to say goodnight
Or even to read a book by the firelight

My hammer built these calloused hands
We can eat because of them
I pound them nails everyday
I know that I'm worth more than I'm paid

Blood and sweat I'll spend my days
Toil for a workers wage
Drink at the end and I'm okay

My wife and my babies they have cried
Haven't seen me around here for quite some time
But I'll be back there with my pay
My wife and babies I will play
Spend the night
We'll f*ck we'll fight
Family's gonna be alright
A kiss on the cheek and I'm on my way

We never get the chance to say goodnight
Or even to read a book by the firelight
One day soon I'll be makin my way back through
Well Maria my dear, I do love you

I'm back, I'm back out to my work
Surrounded by strangers faces
Common jerks
Souls being tested on the road
Trying to prove their worth in gold
Each one of them has tales to tell
About this real and living hell
The wrinkles on their face
Don't need words to explain their pain

We never get the chance to say goodnight
Or even to read a book by the firelight
One day soon I'll be makin my way back through
Well Maria my dear, I do love you
