I'm feeling tired I fell I've worked my hands to the bone I stepped inside With steel toes and a hard hat on, yeah I climbed inside and the air it reeked of oil Well I did my time Shoveling up the soil It's hard to see It's hard to breathe When you work at the refinery, yeah I'm dragging up I'm heading straight for the gate I'm getting in my dodge And driving far from this place
It's hard to see It's hard to breathe When you work at the refinery, yeah Yeah, going back home Going to see my baby, going to see my baby Going to see my, my, my, my baby It's hard to see It's hard to breathe When you work at the refinery It's hard to see It's hard to breathe When you work at the refinery It's hard to see It's hard to breathe When you work at the refinery
