Main Street Sky - Lyrics by Blumenfeld Hugh


Lyrics
I was good at tending bar
They called me Our Lady of O'
Reilly's
I could talk to me in troubleand I know the difference between poison and truth
But I crashed my car last March
And the back was full of empty quarts of vodka
So I walk to work at midnight,at the Donut Town down on Main St.
And the big trucks roll by
They shake the ground like thunder
But there's nothing flashing under
The Main Street sky
I won't wear the damn uniform they gave us
When you're my size, you don't wear orange
Well I may not be your beauty,but I swear I will not be your clown
And Ginny will not fire me
I'm the only one who's here on time
So we have this little understandingthat we just don't get along
And the big trucks roll by
They shake the ground like thunder
But there's nothing flashing under
The Main Street sky
I put a pot on for the truckersand I put one on for myselfand from 2am till 5,I can just park it and read
And I'm going back to school
I don't care if it's a load of crapcause my future things he's sitting at the counterwith his "
Hey, darlin'" and a feedcap
And the big trucks roll by
They shake the ground like thunder
But there's nothing flashing under
The Main Street sky
