Now that the shipyard's closed I'm working at the Conoco And you drive by with your Palmer Johnson Yach With your Mount Gay rum, your gin and tonic For your trophy bride who's mounted on the front
Big Box Billy is gutting our city Putting strip malls in for a million bucks a shot But I don't get a lot of job satisfaction Pumping out gas for your Palmer Johnson Yacht
There's a hole in the road There's a hole in my home There's a hole in the road There's a hole in my heart
For seventy years we've worked this city Since my grampa came and landed on the dock My dad and my brother and me were riveters But that's all smashed like a trawler on the rocks
Still I feel lucky cuz my kids are healthy And my wife's got bene's from working at the bank But I don't get a lot of job satisfaction Pumping out gas for your Palmer Johnson Yacht
There's a hole in the road There's a hole in my home There's a hole in the road There's a hole in my heart
