Dust on the boots
Wind in the pines
Working the shift till my knuckles are red Counting the pennies to
keep us all fed Landlord is knocking right there at the door
But we're sweeping the dust off this old wooden floor
(yeah, hard times)
Oh, the rain keeps falling on the tin roof top
And the clock keeps ticking,
it don't ever stop
We're just getting by,
walking the line Searching for gold in an old dusty mine But
the storm's gonna pass,
yeah the sun's gonna shine Until then we're surviving on water and
wine
(sing it out now)
Looking at pictures of days that have gone Singing a sorrowful,
heavy-heart song Diesel is high and the wages are low Got nowhere
to run and got nowhere to go (humm-mmm)
(hold on
tight)
We're just getting by,
walking the line Searching for gold in an old dusty mine But
the storm's gonna pass,
yeah the sun's gonna shine Until then we're surviving on water and
wine
Surviving on water and wine...
Just a matter of time...
