Lyrics

Picket Line: Lyrics Keith Michael Field - KMF Music


I'm getting tired of the picket line ...walking all day ...don't make no pay

Carrying this sign ...in the picket line ...wasting time ...making me tired today

Oh ... I'm feeling blue
Oh ...I want something to do

Oh brother ...Spare me a dime ...Trying to make a dollar
So, the kids won't holler ...Gonna buy me some wine

I'm going back to be a country boy ... Working in the city don't look so pretty
Paying my dues ...to the union stooge ...Somebody give me a job

Oh, I'm feeling kind of blue ....Oh Lord, I want something to do
Oh Jesus ...take me away ...back to a time ...when we could just play ...
