I'm feeling tired

I fell I've worked my hands to the bone

I stepped inside

With steel toes and a hard hat on, yeah



I climbed inside and the air it reeked of oil

Well I did my time

Shoveling up the soil



It's hard to see

It's hard to breathe

When you work at the refinery, yeah



I'm dragging up

I'm heading straight for the gate

I'm getting in my dodge

And driving far from this place



It's hard to see

It's hard to breathe

When you work at the refinery, yeah



Yeah, going back home

Going to see my baby, going to see my baby

Going to see my, my, my, my baby



It's hard to see

It's hard to breathe

When you work at the refinery

It's hard to see

It's hard to breathe

When you work at the refinery

It's hard to see

It's hard to breathe

When you work at the refinery
