Darrell Scott - Hopkinsville lyrics

If you can't find work, work finds you You know daddy didn't raise no welfare fool Said there's a lot worse things a boy could do Than straddle an iron beam So I build this bridge 'til it's complete And I'll take the steel toes off my feet And give myself a one way seat On that train to Hopkinsville I'm going back to Hopkinsville I'm going back, you know I will Only 21 working days Until I'm with my love in Hopkinsville On my day off I pull the blinds So the foreman won't see my taste for the wine And I drink until the sun don't shine And I sit and drink some more I might call the boys and deal a hand I may go to town to hear a country band And lie about what we got planned When we get off of that bridge I'm going back to Hopkinsville I'm going back you know I will Only 21 working days until I'm with my love in Hopkinsville This welding hood is mighty dark You can see the sun and the welding sparks And it sounds good singing ole Joe Clark Long as nobody else can hear And it fits my head, fits my face And it holds my welding gloves in place It's been known to hide the trace Of a lonely man crying I'm going back to Hopkinsville I'm going back you know I will Only 21 working days until I'm with my love in Hopkinsville (That's right)
