Now that the shipyard closed I'm working at the Conoco But you drive by with your Palmer Johnson Yacht And your Mount Gay rum Your gin and tonic For your trophy bride Who's mounted on the front
Big Box Billy is guttin' our city Puttin' strip malls in for a million bucks a shot But I don't get a lot of job satisfaction Pumpin' out gas for your Palmer Johnson Yacht
There's a hole in the road There's a hole in my heart There's a whole in the road There's a hole in my heart
For seventy years we've worked this city Since my grandpa came and landed on the dock And my dad, my brothers and me were riveters But that all crashed like a trawler on the rocks Still I feel lucky cuz our kids are healthy And my wife's got bennies From working at the bank But I don't get a lot of job satisfaction Pumpin' out gas for your Palmer Johnson Yacht
