Working on the night shift trying to survive
Just to keep my body and soul
She don't care if I'm dead or alive
As long as I keep cutting this coal
Look at my fingers tell me what you see
I'm working them down to the bone
I don't mind working for the company
But I'm so tired of being alone
Bad breaks heartaches treat me like a dog in a hole
Bad breaks earthquakes everything's out of control
Baby why do you treat me so mean
Out running round every night
When I come home I know my clothes ain't clean
But I always treat you right
But every time I wanna gеt next to you
It seems like you're playing for timе
Like a train running off the tracks
I feel like I'm losing my mind
Bad breaks heartaches treat me like a dog in a hole
Bad breaks earthquakes everything's out of control
Just to keep my body and soul
She don't care if I'm dead or alive
As long as I keep cutting this coal
Look at my fingers tell me what you see
I'm working them down to the bone
I don't mind working for the company
But I'm so tired of being alone
Bad breaks heartaches treat me like a dog in a hole
Bad breaks earthquakes everything's out of control
Baby why do you treat me so mean
Out running round every night
When I come home I know my clothes ain't clean
But I always treat you right
But every time I wanna gеt next to you
It seems like you're playing for timе
Like a train running off the tracks
I feel like I'm losing my mind
Bad breaks heartaches treat me like a dog in a hole
Bad breaks earthquakes everything's out of control
