Factory Line

Said I’ve never seen nothing like that before
And her clothes went tumbling to the floor
And her long black hair fell down in curls
In a sea of sand she was a pearl
You know I work all day on the factory line
I don’t want no nothin’ no if it ain’t mine
A little trait instilled in me by my old man
Say I don’t want no nothin’ you’re a free man
Chorus:
And I say hey Carmelita we’re never gonna touch the sky
On a factory line
Puerto Rico I heard someone say
Immigration paid her way
I watch her hands freeze on her work
As the boss man a brush up against her skirt
You see I had my share of trouble and cops
Now I just shut my mouth and I do my job
But this dark skinned girl she caught my eye
And something shifted deep inside
Chorus:
And I say hey Carmelita we’re never gonna touch the sky
On a factory line
Well we went to Vegas on a weekend tear
Ah me and the boys and my lady fair
Felt her hand upon my side
She said come and dance with me one time
Felt like I was meant to hold her
Felt a hand upon my shoulder
Was the boss man’s son with a half ass grin
He said you like your job, I’m cutting in
Now the worker in me said to step aside
So I looked my damsel in the eyes
Said excuse me for my lack of class
And I told that boy to kiss my ass
I said come on baby let’s blow this town
She said I’ll drive for the first round
And outside of Vegas on a desert strip
She pulled the car into a ditch
You ain’t never seen nothing like that before
And her clothes went tumbling to the floor
Now I know that there’s no going back this time
The factory line
