G D

Not an acre on the hillside

G C

Not a dollar to my name

G D

My job got shipped off far away from home

G D

And all the two-time bankers

G C

All moan and complain

That's enough, they've got enough for two

D G

With none left for me and you

G D

And all you daytime workers

G C

Your backs breakin' every day

G D

Ain't but a passing thought in their mind

G D

And when you're done a-toiling

G C

Sorry sir, you're on your own

You don't mind this and you don't mind that

D G

You surely won't mind dying.

C Cmaj9/E Am

And the years roll down

C Cmaj9/E Am

In this dusty town

C Cmaj9/E Am

It's been worn down hard

And run away

G D

And there's a girl beside me

G C

Lord, she's the one I love

G D

But I can't buy no flowers or a ring

G D

And her mama's nice and friendly

G C

And her daddy wants me dead

That's the way things go these days

D G

And that's the way they've been

C Cmaj9/E Am

And the years roll down

C Cmaj9/E Am

In this dusty town

C Cmaj9/E Am

It's been worn down hard

And run away

G D

My restless hands are grabbing

G C

For a time that's never there

G D

Wishful thinking got me down so low

G D

And of all my friends and lovers

G C

I'm the only one left alive

It echoes through the halls and stairs

D G

And looks me in the eye

C Cmaj9/E Am

And the years roll down

C Cmaj9/E Am

In this dusty town

C Cmaj9/E Am

It's been worn down hard

And run away

(Repeat chorus)
