When the first light hits the morning
He rolls himself into another minute of sleep
When the bell cracks the silence
This familiar pain comes back as the days before
He puts on his boots and his black coat
To walk the same old road like he always did
A rolled up smoke cold cup of coffee
And one last kiss for the next ten hours or so
Every day living a low life
Just another dance to the tunes of a broken dream
Every day living a low life
Just another dance to the tunes of a broken dream
He's got nothing in his pockets
All the cash he'd earned he spent
To buy his blue eyed darling
A shiny ring to keep her at his side
As he comes home from the coal mine
He finds her with another man inside
That's how life puts him to test
He turns his head and goes for the best
Every day living a low life
Just another dance to the tunes of a broken dream
Every day living a low life
Just another dance to the tunes of a broken dream
