suit and tie (sixteen tons) - cooper alan lyrics

[verse 1]
bobby works a coal mine, dust in his windpipe
turned 35, got an 80 year old spine
sleeps in a double wide, fridge full of booze
he says, “i gotta get by, what can you do?”

[verse 2]
brandy works the graveyard, down at the walmart
doug long hauls in a mac truck real far
they’ve got 3 kids and 2 paychecks
a little bit of land and a whole lotta debt

[chorus]
i bust my ass, and what do i get?
another iou to the irs
and some dc devil in a red corvette
i sold my soul but i can’t pay rent
80 hours a week, 50 years and you die
doc, i can’t sleep, well, here’s a pill to get high
boss, i need a break, but boy you’re mine
i sold my soul to a suit and tie
[bridge]
it’s blind rat racing, running through a maze and
they pull all the strings and they keep on taking
half of my dimes and all of my time
sold on a dream that turned into a lie
