paroles de chanson From Stanton Station - Looking Glass

I used to work for the New Jersey Railroad
I got laid off ′cause the times weren't good
My unemployment sixty-five dollars
Sixty-five dollars don′t buy what it should
I have a-a weakness for 80-proof whiskey
Lately I'm drinkin' a bottle every day
Messin′ my mind up, lord, it′s wreckin' my body
But it helps make those long lonely hours slip away
I used to be a railroad man, and I′m damn proud of it, too
I did more work in a workin' day, than any two men could do
Foreman said I drink too much and I guess it′s half-way true
I drink half as much as my daddy did, and twice as much as you
I used to have me a good lookin' woman
Loved her and kept her, and called her my own
She started packin′ when I started drinkin'
Now I'm drunk, and I′m busty, and I′m angry all alone
I used to be a railroad man, and I'm damn proud of it, too
I did more work in a workin′ day, than any two men could do
Foreman said I drink too much and at last I know it's true
But I′m too far gone to change now, ain't nothin′ I can do
