[Intro]
C G Am F C G C
[Verse]
C G Am
Mighty Long shifts are for working, heavy dreams are for toting around
F C G C
Let's pretend there's a place to go where I can lay this hacksaw down.
[Verse]
C G Am
I've been trying all my damndest to get where a kind woman lies.
F C G C
10 more hours to a 12 long shift till these woods turn to her eyes.
[Verse]
C G Am
The timber cuts so cleanly Monday morning when the blades are sharp.
F C G C
I get a love song stuck in my head and cut sequoias till it’s dark.
[Chorus]
Am F C G
If every hour’s fourteen dollars or a chance closer to her
Am F C G
Then I’m not just a working mule, I’m the finest of the herd.
Am F C G
And I don’t know who she is or if she might exist
Am F C G
But if she does I swear to love I’m destined for that kiss.
C G Am F C G C
[Verse]
C G Am
And how’s a man get so homesick for a face he’s never seen?
F C G C
I close my eyes while sweating and think of boys I coulda been.
[Verse]
C G Am
But I know that it’s not over cause I feel her here somewhere
F C G C
Through these trees and melodies that I’m belting to the air.
[Chorus]
Am F C G
If every hour’s fourteen dollars or a chance closer to it;
Am F C G
The man I thought I’d be when I was just a kid.
Am F C G
So I’ll just saw away and let the maul fall to the ground
Am F C G
Hope to heaven someone hears me even though no one's around.
C G Am F C G C
[Verse]
C G Am
Mighty Long shifts are for working, quiet dreams are for toting around
F C G C
Let's pretend there's a place to go where I can lay this hacksaw down.
