Long ago I was a wrestler I done some wrestling in my day too I did some time as a garbage collector When I was young and tryin' to make it through I've dug roads and I've dug graves Been treated like a queen and treated like a slave I plucked chickens on the factory floor Danced the Chickadee for not much more There ain't enough hours in the day To remember all the things I've done Just tryin' to make my way And get me some Played smoky halls and city nights I've chased cheap thrills and coloured lights Empty rooms and crowded bars How you doin' tonight's and 'au revoirs' So sit right down if you're feelin' blue If you need to hide in a song or two You turn to me I turn to you These old hands know what to do I've waited tables and loaded trucks I've been ripped off and paid big bucks Staggered home in the dead of night Hit the road before the light I could never be a banker Or a sailor, a jailer or a hired gun Just tryin' to make my way Just tryin' to get me some I've played smoky halls and city nights I've chased cheap thrills and coloured lights Empty rooms and crowded bars How you doin' tonight's and 'au revoirs' So sit right down if you're feelin' blue If you wanna get lost in a song or two You turn to me I turn to you These old hands know what to do
