Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro] Mr. Read "Two Show" Connolly
