Pick me up at the station
Meet me at the train
Have a meal and a shower and a change of clothes
I can't afford a vacation
But I can take the strain
Long as I can be with you
I'll find away to burn it as quickly as I earn it
Yes, it's back-breakin', bone-shakin', belly-achin', hard-workin'
Two more hours to go
Yes, it's keepin' me alive doin' nine to five
and I ain't got nothin' to show
And tonight when I'm leavin' I'll be just breakin' even
but I know it's gonna be all right
Come on babe, and take me away
We got some money to spend the night
Slowly
Bb
Come on babe
Dm
Take me away
