To work the timber till my arms get numb

Those twisted visions of your own home town

Cleaning gardens at that old hotel

I got no money but I'll be alright

I pick the splinters from my fingers to find

How many worries on my days and mind

So I can hold my own

I'm only telling us to leave this place

One day the words I'll speak

Won't mean nothing to me
