Norfolk Blues

[Bridge] The days are all long and the years they're short Homes down South I'm stuck up North Working on a living for the family Wishing I could give them all a fantasy [Verse 1] The times are all tough and the works real hard I've been pulling doubles in the Norfolk yard Trying to find a way away from it all Waiting for the day the curtain may fall [Chorus] It's all the way it's always been Work all day until the days all spent Can't afford to break so you always bend It's all the way it's always been It's back and forth and back again It's all the way it's always been [Verse 2] They say the futures looking bleak well so am I Try to catch a little sleep in the middle of the night Catch a little glimpse of the good old days Wondering why I ever lеt them slip away Money ain't much for a beat up hеart I've been pulling hair out in the Norfolk yard Under the gun and I'm over it all Waiting for the day I'll get a better call [Chorus] It's all the way it's always been Work all day until the days all spent Can't afford to break so you always bend It's all the way it's always been It's back and forth and back again It's all the way it's always been [Bridge] The days are all long and the years they're short Homes down South I'm stuck up North Working on a living for the family Wishing I could give them all a fantasy [Chorus] It's all the way it's always been Work all day until the days all spent Can't afford to break so you always bend It's all the way it's always been [Outro] It's all the way it's always been It's all the way it's always been It's all the way it's always been It's all the way it's always been It's all the way it's always been It's all the way it's always been It's all the way it's always been
