The Pay's a Lot Better Too
Now he was leanin' on the shovel and he rolled a smoke
Said, "Listen here, buddy, this ain't no joke
It takes about as long as this cigarette
To tell you everything I know
It got nothing to do with being satisfied
Or liking the work that we do
But the weather is better than six feet under
And the pay's a lot better too"
A lot better too, a lot better too
The weather is better than six feet under
And the pay's a lot better too
He said, "I've never really been anywhere, and reckon I never will
I couldn't tell you if the grass is greener on the far side of the hill
But I keep my eyes open wide, and this I know to be true
The weather is better than six feet under
And the pay's a lot better too"
A lot better too, a lot better too
The weather is better than six feet under
And the pay's a lot better too
This is all the wisdom that you're gonna get
From a hand-rolled Bugler cigarette
Next break we take, I'll roll another if you ain't got it yet
If this job's too hard, you can quit today
Just see what that will do
But the weather is better than six feet under
And the pay's a lot better too
A lot better too, a lot better too
The weather is better than six feet under
And the pay's a lot better too
A lot better too, a lot better too
The weather is better than six feet under
And the pay's a lot better too
Said, "Listen here, buddy, this ain't no joke
It takes about as long as this cigarette
To tell you everything I know
It got nothing to do with being satisfied
Or liking the work that we do
But the weather is better than six feet under
And the pay's a lot better too"
A lot better too, a lot better too
The weather is better than six feet under
And the pay's a lot better too
He said, "I've never really been anywhere, and reckon I never will
I couldn't tell you if the grass is greener on the far side of the hill
But I keep my eyes open wide, and this I know to be true
The weather is better than six feet under
And the pay's a lot better too"
A lot better too, a lot better too
The weather is better than six feet under
And the pay's a lot better too
This is all the wisdom that you're gonna get
From a hand-rolled Bugler cigarette
Next break we take, I'll roll another if you ain't got it yet
If this job's too hard, you can quit today
Just see what that will do
But the weather is better than six feet under
And the pay's a lot better too
A lot better too, a lot better too
The weather is better than six feet under
And the pay's a lot better too
A lot better too, a lot better too
The weather is better than six feet under
And the pay's a lot better too
