Bobby works a coal mine, dust in his windpipe
Turned thirty-five, got an eighty year old spine
Sleeps in a double wide, fridge full of booze
He says I gotta get by, what can you do?
I bust my ass and what do I get?
And some DC devil in a red Corvette
I sold my soul but I can't pay rent
Well, here's a pill to get high
I sold my soul to a suit and tie
Brandy works the graveyard down at the Walmart
Doug long hauls in a Mac Truck real far
They've got three kids and two paychecks
A little bit of land and a whole lot of debt
I bust my ass and what do I get?
And some DC devil in a red Corvette
I sold my soul but I can't pay rent
Well, here's a pill to get high
I sold my soul to a suit and tie
Running through a maze and
They pull all the strings and they keep on taking
Half of my dimes, all of my time
Sold on a dream that turned into a lie
I bust my ass and what do I get?
And some DC devil in a red Corvette
I sold my soul but I can't pay rent
Well, here's a pill to get high
I sold my soul to a suit and tie
