This labor I´ve been doing ain´t got no reason or rhyme
And I can´t hardly wait for it to finally be quittin´ time

And I´ve been pushing steel through a run down rust belt plant
And I can´t wait to head on home, so I can take my gal to dance
How I´ll take my gal to dance
Oh, I´ll take my gal to dance

The desert sure is hot and we´ve been working through the days
I pray I get back to my loving lady´s gaze
Rifle in my hand and some brothers to my side
I can´t hardly wait for it to finally be quittin´ time
Oh, I pray it´ll be quittin´ time
Oh, one day it´ll be quittin´ time

Quittin´ time´s been on my mind

But her kind eyes are on my heart
I´ve been sweating for my wages
But she´ll cool me after dark
How she´ll cool me after dark
I know she´ll cool me after dark

And I´ve been roofing houses atop of homes I can´t afford
But I´m saving all my pennies and I´m praying to the Lord
One day we´ll make it through all this barely gettin´ by
I´m taking out my woman and we´re dancing barefoot tonight

Quittin´ time´s been on my mind
But her kind eyes are on my heart
I´ve been sweating for my wages

But she´ll cool me after dark
How she´ll cool me after dark
I know she´ll cool me after dark
