Lyrics

[Verse 1] I been workin' on an old bridge We lost in the last big flood Doin' my time on a drill rig Way down in that north coast mud On the southern side a cable snapped And we watched a man fall in I'll tell ya, that's one bell you can't unring [Verse 2] Then I got some work at a saw mill Slavin' in the sun all day No amount of paycheck money's gonna chase these blues away I got two kids and a wife at home Livin' hand to mouth Breakin' my back watchin' it all go south [Chorus] Watchin' it all go south Staring at an open door I think about walkin' away Like so many times before I was raised to stay My pride says stick it out I sip on my last beer Year after year Watchin' it all go south Watchin' it all go south [Verse 3] So I roll with it, deal with it Fight and learn to live with a world That keeps fucking with my mind I saddled up and rode with it Even had a drink with it These days you'll find me sittin' by [Chorus] Watchin' it all go south Staring at an open door I think about walkin' away Like so many times before And I was raised to stay My pride says stick it out I sip on my last beer Year after year Watchin' it all go south Year after year Watchin' it all go south [Post-Chorus] Watchin' it all go south Watchin' it all go south Watchin' it all go south Oh yeah Watchin' it all go
