[Verse 1]
This back-breakin', bone-shakin', belly-achin', hard-workin'
Two more hours to go
Yes, it's keeping me alive doin' nine to five
And I ain't got nothin to show

Pretty soon I'll be leavin' with the wages I'm receivin'
But I know it's gonna be all right

[Chorus]
Come on, babe, and take me away
We got some money to spend tonight

[Bridge]
Pick me up at the station
Meet me at the train
Have a meal and a shower and a change of clothes
I can't afford a vacation
But I can take the strain
Long as I can be with you
Find a way to burn it as quickly as I earn it

Yes, it's back-breakin', bone-shakin', belly-achin', hard-workin'
Two more hours to go
Seven long years for the same corporation
And I ain't got nothin' to show
[Pre-Chorus]
And tonight when I'm leavin' I'll be just breakin' even
But I know it's gonna be all right

[Chorus]
I shake off my blues when you put on your shoes
We got some money to spend tonight
Oh, I don't wanna stand here and sound accusin'
Everybody does their share of losin'
If I'm gonna lose it I might as well be doin' it right

[Bridge]
Pick me up at the station
Meet me at the train
Have a meal and a shower and a change of clothes
I can't afford a vacation
But I can take the strain
Long as I can be with you
Find a way to burn it as quickly as I earn it

[Verse 1]
This back-breakin', bone-shakin', belly-achin', hard-workin'
Two more hours to go
Yes, it's keeping me alive doin' nine to five
And I ain't got nothin to show
[Pre-Chorus]
And tonight when I'm leavin' I'll be just breakin' even
But I know it's gonna be all right

[Chorus]
Come on, babe, and take me away
We got some money to spend tonight
Come on, babe, and take me away
We got some money to spend tonight
