Stoved-up city
I’m a stoved-up man
I keep on movin’
Just as best I can
Joints are achin’
And my bones do creak
My hands are shakin’
And I feel so weak
I’m a stoved-up man ...
Do the best I can ...
I’m a stoved-up man ...
Do the best I can ...
I’m a stoved-up man
Workin’ hard all day
Do the best I can
Just to make my pay
Try to make ends meet
It’s so hard to do
I refuse to cheat
Stay forever true
I’m a stoved-up man ...
Do the best I can ...
I’m a stoved-up man ...
Do the best I can ...
I’m a stoved-up man
When my day is through
I hurry on home
To spend time with you
You’re the only one
I think about all day
I wouldn’t have it
Any other way
I’m a stoved-up man ...
Do the best I can ...
Try to make ends meet ...
I refuse to cheat ...
It’s so hard to do ...
Stay forever true ...
I’m a stoved up man ...
I’m a stoved-up man …
