In an old dusty factory, I saw you there Hiding your blue eyes and your long blonde hair Behind a frown with pain on your face To let us all know how much you hate that place At first I didn't talk to you I was scared it must seem Of the beauty who'd make up the most of my dreams You were the prettiest bluebird never to sing Next to all us cockroaches and the loud, fast machines You had beauty, you had grace But you couldn't tell by your face With a factory frown and a cigarette for show You were an angel on the line Home from college, working nights You were too good you were too smart For this job But you weren't for me Now I didn't smoke when you went out for a light I'd stand in your fumes just to be by your side First time I seen you smile was when I brought you a pack I coughed out my lungs while you stood back and laughed You told me all the stories of the college town nights All the parties and drinking and the big city lights And I did my best to show you life on a farm Hunting and fishing and the straw bale cut arms You had beauty, you had grace But you couldn't tell by your face With the factory frown and a cigarette for show You were an angel on the line Home from college, working nights You were too good you were too smart For this job But you weren't for me June went by too fast and July flew by You were counting down days and I was saving up nights When the school year did come around you came up to me Hiding tears in my eyes, you put a peck on my cheek Now my job still sucks and you're still long gone Factories still dusty and the nights are still long Hope all's well with you 'cause I'm here doing fine Day dreaming of working by an angel down the line
