Quittin' Time (Live)

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 'Cause 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 gal to dance How I'll take my gal to dance You know I'll take my gal to dance The desert sure is hot and we've been working through the days And I can't wait to get on home to my loving lady's gaze A rifle in my hand and some brothers to my side Well, 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 So 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 You know she'll cool me after dark (Mr. Reed "two show" Connolly)
