I leave my thinking and my family at home

To work the timber till my arms get numb

I will be gone some day

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:

And I want to give you everything you deserve

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

I got no money but I'll be alright

Give me a call and I'll work for a number

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:

I want to give you everything you deserve

And all my mind knows we face

I'm only telling us to leave this place

One day the words I'll speak

Won't mean nothing to me
No
