Lyrics

Thirty years breakin' my back
Blood and tears mark my tracks
A dollar down still gettin' by
Not too far ahead, not too far behind
So close the shop, punch that clock
Shut out the light and turn the lock
Shake my hand sir before we part
You've been a friend to me from the start
I could have been a rich man's son
How would I have known which way to run
I wore my body down so I would not rust
And I learned to carve diamonds out of dust
So brush off my suitcase, shine my shoes
Startin' over again ain't nothin' new
Maybe a new direction is what I need
Maybe a new connection will set me free
I could have been a rich man's son
How would I have known which way to run
I wore my body down so I would not rust
And I learned to carve diamonds out of dust
A red-haired girl, a blue-eyed boy
Steady reminders, the gift of joy
Young ones now tuggin' at my heals
This must be how a rich man feels
I could have been a rich man's son
How would I have known which way to run
I wore my body down so I would not rust
And I learned to carve diamonds out of dust
And I learned to carve diamonds out of dust
