By South Austin Jug Band
Written by Walter Hyatt
CD - South Austin Jug Band
A C#m F#m
All they said, don't disturb your head
D E A
About the work we do
A C#m F#m
Just stay in school, someday you'll do
D E A
What we couldn't do
A C D
But run boy run in the summer sun
G
On a summer day
A C D
You know what you know and you can't wait to grow
G E
Be on your way
A C#m F#m
I could only understand that my dad's a good man
D E A
And he's glad payday
A C#m F#m
Now high school plan, be a motor city man
D E A
Working night or day
A C#m F#m
No matter who you are, you've got to have a car
D E A
In the USA
A C D
Something aint right about the billboards filing
G
Down the big highway
A C D
Now hard times again, and good working men
G E
Are sittin’ home all day
A C#m F#m
I know this plant's closing down and I'm leaving this town
D E A
I'll be gone payday
A C D
Yeah the red lights and green lights that lighted my home
G
Are gonna light my way
A C D
Goodbye to the park and the corner after dark
G E
Where I lost my faith
A C#m F#m
Let the factories all fall down to the mother ground
D E A
I'll be gone payday
Yeah, I've done all I can I'm a Motor city man
And I'm on my way
Said I'm on my way
I said I'm on my way
