Poem Title:
Poem
Now what do I do, I’ve got time on my hands Maybe I’ll go somewhere and try and make a stand No job to go to, don’t do that no more Retirements great, counting cracks in the floor There’s no more fences, nothings holding me in Everyone I know is still down at the plant I wish I could miss them but somehow I can’t Waking up each day is like being born again But without that baby smell and no religion No more fences, nothings holding me Worked hard all my life till it was time to go And after all I’ve I done I got nothin’ to show It’s funny how things turned out this way With all my words, I’ve got nothing to say I don’t own a house, I just pay the rent And I can’t tell you where all my money went I wanna go out and buy me some clothes Get all dressed up, find some place to go There’s no more fences, nothings holding me I thought we’d be together through thick and thin But she up and left, I guess that was the end Now I’ve got time on my hands and don’t know what to do The whole world’s before me and I don’t know what to do I got no more fences, don’t know what’s holding me in Worked hard all my life till it was time to go After everything I’ve I done I got nothin’ to show It’s sad how things turned out this way And I never asked her, why don’t you stay
