lyrics

Brother, when your boots fill up with rain
You take em off and put em on again
A hole, a hole don't dig itself
You ask the world for one thing
And it gives you something else

A hole can turn into a pit
Despair is a devil chomping at the bit
Where to next, where to now
Standing at the crossroads
And wiping at your brow

Overworked, underslept
We're all pushing back the blues
With all that we got left
Overworked, underslept
You can't even pay your dues
With an unemployment check

Brother, now you walk a country mile
No bread or water, no woman or child
Heart of stone, heart of steal
The world on your back
The hounds on your heels

Now that the dogs have been loosed
Now that the chicken's come to roost
Kingdom come, kingdom fall
The road to Damascus
The road to Arkansas

Overworked, underslept
We're all pushing back the blues
With all that we got left
Overworked, underslept
You can't even pay your dues
With an unemployment check
