INTRO: --- ---

This is my town

Out in the rust belt fields

We were banging out Buicks

And Oldsmobiles

There was always a job

And the money was there

Some say we got a little lazy

Nobody seemed to care

But they figured it out

Sent the elbow grease

Down to Mexico

And off to the Chinese

CHORUS:

F C Am

And I learned a little something 'bout how things are

G Am D7sus2 C Cmaj9/B Am

No one remembers your name just for working hard

Drove into the ground

'Til your factory's cold

Then they tear it all down

And the parts get sold

Come the bankers now

Picking over the bones

I got three more neighbours now

'Bout to lose their homes

'Cause they figured it out

Sent the elbow grease

Down to Mexico

And off to the Chinese

CHORUS:

And I learned a little something 'bout how things are

Dm G

No one gets a bonus for bloody knuckles and scars

No one remembers your name just for working hard

INSTRUMENTAL:

There's a casino boat

It's up around Boon

Think I'll buy me a bottle

And a motel room

Put all I have left

On a little black square

Risk it all like the big boys

Like I don't even care

They'll drive you into the ground

'Til your engine's cold

Call in the auctioneer

As the banks foreclose

CHORUS:

F C Am

And I learned a little something 'bout how things are

Dm G

No one gets a bonus for bloody knuckles and scars

No one remembers your name just for working hard
