Those Damned Blue Collar Tweekers lyrics

I`ve seen them out at Soco

They`re pounding sixteen penny nails

The truckers on the interstate

Have been known to ride the rails

The sweat is beating on the brow

Can`t keep these fellas down

`Cause those damned blue-collared tweekers

Are runnin` this here town



I knew a man who hung drywall

He hung it mighty quick

A trip or two to the blue room

Would help him do the trick

His foreman would pat him on the back

Whenever he would come around

`Cause these dammed blue-collar tweekers

Are beloved in this here town



Now the union boys are there

To protect us from all the corporate type

While curious George`s drug patrol

Is out here hunting snipe

Now they try to tell me different

But you know I ain`t no clown

`Cause those damned blue-collar tweekers

Are the backbone of this town



Now the flame that burns twice as bright

Burns only half as long

My eyes are growing weary

As I finalize this song

So sit back and have a cup o` joe

And watch the wheels go round

`Cause those damned blue-collar tweekers

Have always run this town
