Intro: C  ~  Am  F 

         C                  ~ 
You're a working man with a welder's tan 
  Am                F 
A sky blue ford you bought second hand 
    C                    ~ 
You drive on down to the factory 
    Am                              F 
You drive on down because it's your job you see 


C                       ~ 
Carry your thermos underneath your arm 
       Am                               F 
Little coffee and bourbon will help you through the morn 
          C                         ~ 
You crack wise with the boys, so it don't bring you down 
Am                         F 
Time ain't nothing but the world spinning round 

G You call it sleep F There's a car out on the four lane G You call it sleep F Rain on the window pane G Call it sleep F It's all the same
C ~ You stop off down at the Palomino Club Am F The neon sign says, 'We've Got Your Bud' C ~ It's a cinderblock building on a gravel parking lot Am F It's Friday night, you're out to spend every cent you got C ~ So you dance the floor with a Mexican girl Am F She's got whiskey on her breath, smoke in her curls C ~ Hands holding cigarettes and faces you don't know Am F You sit at the bar until it's time to go
G You call it sleep F There's a car out on the four lane G You call it sleep F Rain on the window pane G Call it sleep F It's all the same
Instrumental: C ~ Am F C ~ Am F C ~ The morning air feels like mud over your eyes Am F The sun coming up is just a sixty watt light C ~ Maybe leave this town and leave this life Am F Get in your car and you start to drive C ~ There's boarded up buildings and places you've never been Am F Cars on the interstate that never seem to end C ~ It all flies away with the wave of your hand Am F Like birds over water trying to find land
G You call it sleep F There's a car out on the four lane G You call it sleep F Rain on the window pane G Call it sleep F C ~ Am F It's all the same C ~ You're a working man with a welder's tan Am F A sky blue ford you bought second hand
