I leave my thinking and my family at home

To work the timber till my arms get numb

All my dreams and all my pain

Those twisted visions of your own home town

Those countless workers with their heads bowed down

And I can see myself

Cleaning gardens at that old hotel
Pre-Chorus:
D
And I want to give you everything you deserve

I want to know that your body is real

It's dark in the day and black in the night

I got no money but I'll be alright

Them boys up the street they would steal for their hunger

What did you do with their lives

I pick the splinters from my fingers to find

How many worries on my days and mind

So I can hold my own

The real reason why man must grow
Pre-Chorus:
D
I want to give you everything you deserve
C G
And relieve you of those pressures that you take

We will discover what the music can make

And all my mind knows we face

I'm only telling us to leave this place

What did you do with their lives

Am G D C
Oh play me a song and I'll pay you in liquor

Says goodbye to his children and wife

One day the words I'll speak

Won't mean nothing to me
