G Well the roller guys were high and
C G ol' Lenny was dry
G The old man pulled up in that
D pickup truck (Silverado!)
G He said, "Boys, hurry up. I got Big
C G Jim coming with the pup
D and that god damn silo at the plant
G is full." [Verse 2]
G "I know there's rain overhead but
C G boys we still gotta spread
G Even if that anti-stripper kills
D you all. (And it will!)
G I'm gonna work you like a dog
C G through the sunshine, snow and fog.
D Don't expect an early layoff in the
G fall." [Chorus]
Em G Laying down that wretched blacktop
G Staying late for another load But I don't wanna see that road
D again. Ten thousand ton 'til I see my home
Em again

[Verse 3]
G I ain't got no education, I don't
C G give a fuck about segregation
G Compaction? You can drive that up
D your ass (All the way up!)
G I'd rather be lying in the shade
C G with an ice cold beer, I'd have it made
D Aw hell, I'd even rather cut the
G grass [Chorus]
Em G Laying down that wretched blacktop
G Staying late for another load But I don't wanna see that road
D again. Ten thousand ton 'til I see my home
Em again [Solo]

Em [Verse 4]
G Late in the year we fall behind
C G and the only chance for piece of mind
G Is when the plant breaks down or it
D begins a-rainin'
G On days like that we don't make a
C dime, so I'll tell you folks how we
G pass the time
D By telling lies, making bets and
G complaining [Chorus]
Em 'Bout laying down that wretched
G blacktop
G Staying late for another load But I don't wanna see that road
D again. Ten thousand ton 'til I see my home
Em again [Solo]

G You may think I'm a whiny bitch
C G and some folks would say that I'm a snitch
G But you'd change your tune if you
D were in my shoes
G I can't pretend that life is fine,
C G slaving here on ol' 289
D Truth is, I can't shake these
C blacktop blues [Otro]
