Workman's Blues

It's been three weeks since I've slept My body's cold, my tears have been wept My eyes are as black as coal My bones ache, I feel I'm gettin' old But my heart don't feel the shakin' You know me, I ain't breakin' Cause I've got this fire lord Roaring deep in my bones And I get so tired oh It's like I'm lettin' it go I've traded my shoes, for these old steel toe boots Cause I've got Workman's Blues If my days turn to nights If I keep burnin' the light My embers will turn to stone I'll go grey, fixed in monochrome But my heart still beats in colour Take these blues and find another Cause I've got this fire lord Roaring deep in my bones But I get so tired oh It's like I'm lettin' it go I've traded my shoes, for these old steel toe boots I've got Workman's Blues Oh lord I feel I'm wasting time For the wrong reason and rhyme Am I throwing my life away Cause I've got this fire lord Roaring deep in my bones But I get so tired oh It's like I'm lettin' it go I've traded my shoes, for old steel toe boots Gotta get back my shoes, for these old steel toe boots Cause I got Workman's Blues
