roofer's blues - luke bell lyrics

[verse 1]
i drive ten thousand nails a day
won’t you give or take a few
i clinch the tips between my lips
and hammer as i move
i’m rawhide wound round iron bones and wire*tight sinew
i might only stop to roll a smoke
and sing tmy roofer’s blues

[chorus]
oh, lord, would you let it rain
a whole bunch of money
i wouldn’t mind retiring in my youth
but, oh lord, if it k!lls me
and i rise up to your skies
please don’t put me on your golden roof

[verse 2]
i been to austin and new orleans boy
both them suns is hot
ol’ austin’s full of hippies, pretty girls, and old big shots
i keep me a 38. special
tucked between my seats
cause you never know what’s to be got
when you’re down in new orleans
[chorus]
oh, lord, would you let it rain
a whole bunch of money
i wouldn’t mind retiring in my youth
but oh lord, if it k!lls me
and i rise up to your skies
please don’t put me on your golden roof

[verse 3]
i been out on the shingle
since i could barely walk
and walk i do, right up the eaves
lord, i don’t stop to talk
you can see my shoulders shadow
against the sun and moon
i might only stop to roll a smoke
and sing my roofer’s blues

[chorus]
oh, lord, would you let it rain
a whole bunch of money
i wouldn’t mind retiring in my youth
but oh lord, if it k!lls me
and i rise up to your skies
please don’t put me on your golden roof
i said please don’t put me on your golden roof
