I wish I was a slave to an age-old trade

Like ridin' around on railcars and workin' long days
F C F C
Lord have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways

Call it pride of a man
F C Am C
But it don't make no difference if you sit or you stand

F C Am C
We do it over and over and over again
F C Am C
We do it over and over and over again

One more for the stars and the eyes of the walls
I hear your name...
I saw your face in the crowd and you came out
You saw me walkin'...
You got a sign on the door and it reads to me

So I wish I was a slave to an age-old trade
Lord have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways
