Steel Toes and Blue Jeans

from Devil Take The Hindmost by James Keyes

lyrics

Steel Toes and blue jeans, coffee and Dramamine
Those stains on your hands will never wash off
Any crew's the same and the work, it never changes
And the only way you know is the only way out

She'll tell you that her love will last forever and a day
But when it goes up in flames don't hesitate
The moon is always up and will never let you down
and the stars are always glad to light the way

I am leaving I am leaving alone again tonight
I am leaving I am leaving that's for sure
I am leaving I am leaving alone again tonight
And I know I ain't ever coming home

Take a dream and a whim to a place where there's no sorrow
Forget about today until you wake up there tomorrow
You can't lack what you cant find,
If there's no reason pay no mind
There's nothing that you want that isn't there

But if the darkness of the hour leaves you too scared to go on
and you think you'll never see the light of day
Keep and eye out on the road and song in your heart
and the melody will guide you on your way

You can try to run the clock out but in the end it'll drag you down
When you thought you were alone time got there first
Well it's hard to make your way through each and every day
But the freedom to keep moving is always there
