[00:06.512]I often take these night shift walks when the foreman's not around
[00:12.642]I turn my back on the cooling stacks and make for open ground
[00:18.226]Far out beyond the tank farm fence where the gas flare makes no sound
[00:24.104]I forget the stink and I always think back to that Eastern town
[00:31.825]I remember back six years ago, this Western life I chose
[00:37.916]And every day, the news would say some factory's going to close
[00:43.511]Well, I could have stayed to take the Dole, but I'm not one of those
[00:49.634]I take nothing free, and that makes me an idiot, I suppose
[00:55.481]So I bid farewell to the Eastern town I never more will see
[01:01.569]But work I must so I eat this dust and breathe refinery
[01:07.425]Oh, I miss the green and the woods and streams and I don't like cowboy clothes
[01:13.522]But I like being free and that makes me an idiot I suppose
[01:45.183]So come all you fine young fellows who've been beaten to the ground
[01:51.036]This western life's no paaradise, but it's better than lying down
[01:57.145]Oh, the streets aren't clean, and there's nothing green, and the hills are dirty brown
[02:03.247]But the government Dole will rot your soul back there in your home town
[02:09.093]So bid farewell to the Eastern town you never more will see
[02:15.212]There's self-respect and a steady cheque in this refinery
[02:21.326]You will miss the green and the woods and streams and the dust will fill your nose
[02:27.436]But you'll be free, and just like me, an idiot, I suppose
