Dirty Working

from Occitan Reverb by January Son

/

lyrics

No one’s gonna touch me now
And I’ll just walk right out of this town
You say you’re gonna work me over
You’re gonna drink my blood and leave me to drown
But in this mean old desert of dried up tears
You can’t keep a man who’s already dead down

I been dirty working
That’s how I got where I am now

You’d think this filth and dirty deeds
Would get all over everything
But the fact is I still believe
In righteousness and bended knee
And I’m not about to cry, beg, and plead
I just ask that you let me be

I been dirty working
But I got by somehow

And this is not about hopes and dreams
Or anything else done dirt cheap
It’s about a man held up high
Despite all the ways I’ve been vilified

I been dirty working

You might think that I’m all right
When you walk over me in the night
I didn’t throw my life away
What could anyone say about a man like me anyway

I been dirty working
And may god forgive me now
