D
Now I'm here on the blacktop sun in my eyes

Women and country on my mind

Both turned me out over the borderline

No more digging holes of graves

Nothin' to lose but rivets and chains

I was born in a stable built like an ox
               
Down in the pastures I learned how to walk

And no rich man's worth his weight in dust

They bury him down same as they do us

God wants us busy never giving up

What good is an angel that won't catch up
