Get Back In Line Lyrics
Facing the world ain't easy
When there isn't anything going
Standing at the corner waiting
Watching time go by
Will I go to work today or shall I bide my time?
Cause when I see that union man walking down the street...
He's the man who decides if I live or I die, if I starve, or I eat.
Then he walks up to me and the sun begins to shine.
Then he walks right past and I know that I've got to get back in the line.
Now I think of what my mamma told me.
She always said that it would never ever work out.
But all I want to do is make some money.
And bring you home some wine.
For I don't ever want you to see me
Standing in that line.
Cause that union man's got such a hold over me.
He's the man who decides if I live or I die, if I starve, or I eat.
Then he walks up to me and the sun begins to shine
Then he walks right past and I know that I've got to get back in the line.
Get back, get back, get right back into line.
When there isn't anything going
Standing at the corner waiting
Watching time go by
Will I go to work today or shall I bide my time?
Cause when I see that union man walking down the street...
He's the man who decides if I live or I die, if I starve, or I eat.
Then he walks up to me and the sun begins to shine.
Then he walks right past and I know that I've got to get back in the line.
Now I think of what my mamma told me.
She always said that it would never ever work out.
But all I want to do is make some money.
And bring you home some wine.
For I don't ever want you to see me
Standing in that line.
Cause that union man's got such a hold over me.
He's the man who decides if I live or I die, if I starve, or I eat.
Then he walks up to me and the sun begins to shine
Then he walks right past and I know that I've got to get back in the line.
