Quittin' Time (Live)

This labor I've been doin' ain't got no reason or rhyme

And I can't hardly wait for it to finally be quittin' time

'Cause I've been pushin' 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 workin' through the days

And I can't wait to get on home to my lovin' lady's gaze

A rifle in my hand and some brothers to my side

Well, I can't 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 sweatin' 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

And I've been roofin' houses atop of homes I can't afford

So I'm savin' all my pennies and I'm prayin' to the Lord

One day we'll make it through all this barely gettin' by

I'm takin' out my woman and we're dancin' barefoot tonight

Quittin' time's on my mind, but her kind eyes are on my heart

I've been sweatin' 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
