Done My Time
I'll be older than God by the time I'm done
Tell the man I've done my time
Been a long time since I've seen the sun
Tell the man I've done my time
Eyes down yonder, down the steel line
Tell the man I've done my time
One more rivet, claim my nickel and dime
Tell the man I've done my time
It's 6:05 and I'm running dry
Give it 12 hours I'll be back on this line (yeah)
Breaking sweat, breaking rocks
Call the devil off 'cause I've done my time
Six more hours 'til my work stops
Call your devil off 'cause I've done my time
Wanna ride the train not lay the track
Call your devil off 'cause I've done my time
Tell me this is living, but it ain't all that
Call your devil off 'cause I've done my time
It's 6:05 and I'm running dry
Give it 12 hours I'll be back on this line
It's 6:05 and I'm running dry
Give it 12 hours I'll be back on this line
I've hammered white hot rivets with these fists for mile upon mile
I've got a thirst like an Arizona desert with cactus growing down my throat
And I've done my time
You call your devil off, 'cause I've paid my way
And when that whistle blows I'll be first in line
I said I'll be first in line
I'm running dry
Give it 12 hours I'll be back on this line
It's 6:05 and I'm running dry
Give it 12 hours I'll be back on this line
Tell the man I've done my time
Been a long time since I've seen the sun
Tell the man I've done my time
Eyes down yonder, down the steel line
Tell the man I've done my time
One more rivet, claim my nickel and dime
Tell the man I've done my time
It's 6:05 and I'm running dry
Give it 12 hours I'll be back on this line (yeah)
Breaking sweat, breaking rocks
Call the devil off 'cause I've done my time
Six more hours 'til my work stops
Call your devil off 'cause I've done my time
Wanna ride the train not lay the track
Call your devil off 'cause I've done my time
Tell me this is living, but it ain't all that
Call your devil off 'cause I've done my time
It's 6:05 and I'm running dry
Give it 12 hours I'll be back on this line
It's 6:05 and I'm running dry
Give it 12 hours I'll be back on this line
I've hammered white hot rivets with these fists for mile upon mile
I've got a thirst like an Arizona desert with cactus growing down my throat
And I've done my time
You call your devil off, 'cause I've paid my way
And when that whistle blows I'll be first in line
I said I'll be first in line
I'm running dry
Give it 12 hours I'll be back on this line
It's 6:05 and I'm running dry
Give it 12 hours I'll be back on this line
