Fingers To THe Bone Lyrics

Everything went wrong

I'm sorry boys, I've got to let you go

We've had some hard times

And the long rain, it didn't show

Hired hands, I've seen them come and go

But you don't come much better

Today's 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

It's the poor man who gets hurt

All you ever work for

Is to leave your footprints in the dirt 

You work your fingers to the bone 

The deed is done

The fruit will fall to someone else's hand

That's how the land lies

Now we all know where we stand

You'll have to walk away

Don't let them see you running

Today's Blue Monday

I should have seen it coming 

You work your fingers to the bone 

If sweat and tears were all it took

To make this valley green

We'd be alright but now it's gone

They've taken everything

They say it's just an act of God

And that's the way ill wind blows

You've got thirty days to pack your bags

Say goodbye, hit the road 

You work your fingers to the bone
