City Of Dreams

Leaving home after dark
 Drivin' in your land shark
 What's a poor boy to do
 Turning up the old twang
 Working on a chain gang
 Turning all your reds to blue
 It's been a long time
 That you've been workin' on the midnight shift
 Another union son goes down
 Boy they're gonna miss you when you're gone
 You're older than the subway
 Higher than the skyway
 Smokin' in between the lines
 Watchin' for the white hats
 Strike breakers, dirty rats
 Tryin' not to lose your mind
 It's been a long time
 You've been workin' on the midnight shift
 Another union son goes down
 Boy they're gonna miss you when you're gone
 Between the city of dreams
 And the end of the line
 Sleepin' in the rust belt
 You never knew how it felt
 To laugh this old world away
 Living off of overtime
 Put your life on the line
 For a buck above minimum wage
 It's been a long time
 You've been working on the midnight shift
 Another union son goes down
 Boy they're gonna miss you when you're gone
 Between the city of dreams
 And the end of the line
