lyrics

Verse:

I've spent thirty years of my life
Pulling four twelves
Digging so deep
Knocking on the back door to hell
Man can't make no money
Working this way
Providing her the life from a magazine

Chorus:

Gabriel I'm waiting on your trumpets to sound
Spare me another day of hell underground
Be better off laying down town a corpse
Lord I need a change of pace
For the roof caves in and buries this place
Cause I spend most my days
Tending To My Grave

Verse:

Thirty Seven more payments
And this truck is mine
They can pick it up tomorrow
I’m done with the mines
I cant go to church on Sundays
Cant sing in the choir
Ill belong to the company until the day I die

Chorus:

Gabriel I'm waiting on your trumpets to sound
Spare me another day of hell underground
Be better off laying down town a corpse
Lord I need a change of pace
For the roof caves in and buries this place
Cause I spend most my days
Tending To My Grave
