Deep Purple - Fingers To The Bone

Fingers To The Bone

Everything went wrong, Imsorry boys, I have to let you go
Ah weve had some hard times and the long rain, it didnt show
Hired hands, I have seen them come and go but you dont come much better
Ah todays Blue Monday, I just got a bad news letter
This day has come, the darkest cloud on our horizon
My hands are tied down to that promise note I signed upon
Always been this way, its the poor man who gets hurt
And all you ever work for is to leave your footprints in the dirt
You work your fingers to the bone
You work your fingers to the bone
You work your fingers to the bone
The deed is done, the fruit wi will fall to someone elses hand
Thats how the land lies, now we all know where we stand
You wi will have to walk away, dont let them see you running
Ah todays Blue Monday and I shouldve seen it coming
You work your fingers to the bone
You work your fingers to the bone
Ah your fingers to the bone
If sweat and tears were all it took to make this valley green
Ah wed be alright but now its gone, theyve taken everything
They say its just an act of God and thats the way the i will wind blows
Youve got thirty days to pack your bags, say goodbye, hit the road
You work your fingers to the bone
You work your fingers to the bone
You work your fingers to the bone
You work your fingers to the bone
