Early morning coffee and eggs
It’s the first day back on the grind
Filled my pail with chicken legs
And took the first job I could find
Cold steel, sweltering heat
The boss wants this job done
The deadline he said we need to meet
Is July thirty-one
Now, I’ve always been a blue collar man
Fearless as they COME
But there’s something about this plan
Made me turn my tail and RUN
High voltage cables
Contents under pressure
Half the guys were wasted
And falling in the water
Had to find another way
To feed my family
Had to find a safer place
To plant my family tree
Now, I’ve always been a blue collar man
Fearless as they COME
But there’s something about this plan
Made me turn my tail and RUN
Made me turn my tail and RUN
Made me TURN my TAIL and RUN
