american tobacco company - bj barham lyrics
[verse 1]
everyday ’round lunchtime i start daydreaming
my insides start screaming, wanting something more
and i come crashing
back to reality
before the walls crash in on me
and crush me to the core
[chorus]
and i work my fingers to the bone
just to have a little bit of something i can call my own
at the american tobacco company
at the american tobacco company
[verse 2]
when i got home in the summer of ’45
not a single place was hiring, but my cousin knew a guy
now i sit hear on a line
and watch these big machines
crush my hopes and dreams
into pall malls and lucky strikes
[chorus]
and i work my fingers to the bone
just to have a little bit of something i can call my own
at the american tobacco company
at the american tobacco company
[bridge]
“pull yourself up by the bootstraps,” they say
you can live the american dream
well all those days i spent thinking in the south pacific
yeah this ain’t how i thought that dream would be
[verse 3]
now every single morning i walk into this building
i think about my children, and the life they oughta lead
and i try my best
not to look back
just stare up at that smokestack
and my troubles fade away
