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
