Lyrics
0:13I used to work for the New Jersey railroad
0:19I got laid off 'cause the times weren't good
0:25My unemployment sixty five dollars
0:32Sixty five dollars don't buy what it should
0:50I have got a weakness for 80 proof whiskey
0:56Lately I'm drinkin' a bottle every day
1:03Messin' my mind up Lord it's wreckin' my body
1:10But it helps make those long lonely hours slip away
1:16I used to be a railroad man and I'm d**n
1:20Proud of it too
1:23I did more work in a workin' day than any
1:26Two men could do
1:29Foreman said I drink too much and I guess it's
1:33Half way true
1:36I drink half as much as my daddy did and
1:40Twice as much as you
2:07I used to have me a good lookin' woman
2:14Loved her and kept her
2:16And called her my own
2:20She started packin' when I started drinkin'
2:27Now I'm drunk
2:29And I'm busty and I'm angry all
2:32Alone
2:34I used to be a railroad man and I'm d**n
2:38Proud of it too
2:40I did more work in a workin' day than any
2:44Two men could do
2:46Foreman said I drink too much and at last I
2:50Know it's true
2:54But I'm too far gone to change now ain't nothin'
2:58I can do
I used to work for the New Jersey railroad I got laid off 'cause the times weren't good My unemployment sixty five dollars Sixty five dollars don't buy what it should I have got a weakness for 80 proof whiskey Lately I'm drinkin' a bottle every day Messin' my mind up Lord it's wreckin' my body But it helps make those long lonely hours slip away I used to be a railroad man and I'm d**n Proud of it too I did more work in a workin' day than any Two men could do Foreman said I drink too much and I guess it's Half way true I drink half as much as my daddy did and Twice as much as you I used to have me a good lookin' woman Loved her and kept her And called her my own She started packin' when I started drinkin' Now I'm drunk And I'm busty and I'm angry all Alone I used to be a railroad man and I'm d**n Proud of it too I did more work in a workin' day than any Two men could do Foreman said I drink too much and at last I Know it's true But I'm too far gone to change now ain't nothin' I can do
