Retire Me In A Box (Dark Country Music) - Dark Country Boy
They retire me in a box
That's the working man plan
Work until you're wan
And they bury the man
Never got the golden years
Never got the stop
Retire me in a box
At the top
They keep raising the age when a man can rest
65 then 70 then work till your chest
Give out on the job site with a tool in your hand
Cause the pension they promised turned to sand
Never going to see a Florida
Or a fishing little dock
Just a lifetime of the labor in a merciless clock
Work until they lower me down with a drop
Retire me in a box
That's the dirty little secret of the working man fate
You don't get to stop you just work until you're late
For your own little funeral dead at the shop
Retire me in a box
They retire me in a box
That's the working man plan
Work until you're wan
And they bury the man
Never got the golden years
Never got the stop
Retire me in a box
At the top
