[Verse 1] Sun up on the loading bay Hairnet on, floor too cold Blue Dwarf sign on the brick wall Riverbend Springs, same old gold Tomato crates and green beans lined up Labels spinning in a row I punch in with my work boots And I move like a slow roll [Pre-Chorus] Clock hands drag through my palms Every minute feels like stone But I keep my head down Keep my name on bone [Chorus] Blue Dwarf cans, Blue Dwarf cans We grind them hours by hand Blue Dwarf cans, Blue Dwarf cans Till the shift lets go my hands Riverbend Springs, hold me up When the day gets rough Blue Dwarf cans, Blue Dwarf cans That’s enough, that’s enough [Verse 2] Steam rolls thick off the kettles Sweat pearls at my jaw Mason jars and dented buckets Stacked up by the back hall wall Mabel hums at station three Ray says, “Son, keep pace” We laugh when the whistle cuts us Like a blade across the place [Pre-Chorus] Lunch break lasts ten minutes flat Then it’s back into the line But I hear my baby waiting On the porch when I’m out of time [Chorus] Blue Dwarf cans, Blue Dwarf cans We grind them hours by hand Blue Dwarf cans, Blue Dwarf cans Till the shift lets go my hands Riverbend Springs, hold me up When the day gets rough Blue Dwarf cans, Blue Dwarf cans That’s enough, that’s enough [Bridge] Come payday, I’m tired and proud With peaches in the truck Grease on my sleeve, salt in my boots Still I feel my luck ‘Cause hard work leaves a taste You don’t wash away too fast And every can we seal shut Says this town still lasts [Final Chorus] Blue Dwarf cans, Blue Dwarf cans We grind them hours by hand Blue Dwarf cans, Blue Dwarf cans Till the shift lets go my hands Riverbend Springs, hold me up When the day gets rough Blue Dwarf cans, Blue Dwarf cans That’s enough, that’s enough [Outro] Blue Dwarf cans, Blue Dwarf cans We make a life from enough
