The Singer and the Songwriter - The Work
All my life - what’s a few years more
Heard about a job in Maine
Part-time work, honest pay
Oh the work’s never done, never done, never done
No the work’s never done, never done, never done
No the work’s never done, never done, never done
Work’s never donе
Pay the bills by the skin of my teeth
Pray to God paycheck lasts thе week
My little girl’s got big dreams
Shoot them down; kid’s gotta eat
Well, the work’s never done, never done, never done
No the work’s never done, never done, never done
No the work’s never done, never done, never done
Work’s never done
Hitch the trailer to the truck
As our Golden Years begin to rust
Lord show mercy on us
Let time run out before the money does
Before the money does
(Instrumental Break)
Up in the tower there’s a business man
He and the devil got a business plan
My little world in the palm of their hands
They take my money and roll the dice
All the while I’m here rolling dimes
Devil’s work’s never done, never done, never done
No the work’s never done, never done, never done
No the work’s never done, never done, never done
Work’s never done

You always said, "Have an escape plan In case the cabin fills with smoke." So I would practice counting rows to the exit With my eyes closed In case the plane goes

You and me, a run-on sentence Field sparrow song says, "Go on, go on What you waiting for go on" The month of June a dandelion Take the yellow hope in your mouth

The Union Pacific was travelling Northbound Near midnight when it struck you In my room I’m awakened by the godawful sound Of the telephone ring A sound that’s still
