[Verse] Old worn boots walkin dust roads trail No man can tell tales when hope's frail Tired hands still pushin ain't got no coin Every day's a stitch in this poor man's loin [Verse 2] Belly's growlin like a wolf in the night Pride's a shadow in the dim moonlight Hollow eyes lookin for a break or two But luck's a vulture we ain't got no clue [Chorus] Pockets empty soul's heavier than stone Life's a burden no one can own Hear that rumble it's a hungry man's groan Ain't no feast when the crop's homegrown [Verse 3] Dirty nails dig deep all day long Sweat's the anthem of my lonesome song Rusty dreams in a rusty frame No one listens to a broken name [Bridge] Railroad tracks hummin' life's despair Smoke-filled skies tells me nobody cares Got a wish on a star that ain't there This journeyman's blues is a nightmare [Verse 4] Guitar strings strum a sorrowful tune Wails blend with the pale of the moon Hope's a flicker in the dark won't stay Hunger gnawin' just another day
