lyrics

Late last week with my dirt hands blessed, and beat and burned
I put on my Sunday best, to cash my earn

Uptown man shed a welcome smile, and a sorry sigh
He said the drought gone made this whole well dry, and he smiled goodbye

Chorus:
Oh, so you wanna get a rise?
Let me put black boots on and we’ll take it outside
Oh, we’re gonna make wrong right
Uptown’s gonna go downtown tonight

I tipped my hat to the next uptown, another man to try
He said the earth gone and shook this whole town down, and he smiled goodbye

Chorus

Well you can dry my well, you can shake my land, for a good time cheap
But this hat will never go in hand, for a good night’s sleep
They say some men can always stand, and it’s always free

Chorus
