Quittin' Time

This labor I've been doing ain't got no reason or rhyme

And I can hardly wait for it to finally be quittin' time

And I've been pushing steel through a run down rust belt plant

And I can't wait to head on home, so I can take my girl to dance

How I'll take my girl to dance

Oh, I'll take my girl to dance

The desert sure is hot and we've been working through the days

I pray I get back to my loving lady's gaze

Rifle in my hand and some brothers to my side

I can hardly wait for it to finally be quittin' time

Oh, I pray it'll be quittin' time

Oh, one day it'll be quittin' time

Quittin' time's on my mind but her kind eyes are on my heart

I've been sweating for my wages but she'll cool me after dark

How she'll cool me after dark

I know she'll cool me after dark

And, I've been roofing houses atop of homes I can't afford

But I'm saving all my pennies and I'm praying to the lord

One day we'll make it through all this barely gettin' by

I'm taking out my woman and we're dancing barefoot tonight

Quittin' time's on my mind but her kind eyes are on my heart

I've been sweating for my wages but she'll cool me after dark

How she'll cool me after dark

Oh, she'll cool me after dark
