Karaoké Suit and Tie (Sixteen Tons) Cooper Alan

Bobby works a coal mine

Dust in his windpipe

Turned thirty-five

Got an eighty year old spine

Sleeps in a double wide

Fridge full of booze

He says I gotta get by

What can you do

Well I bust my ass and what do I get

Another IOU to the IRS

And some DC devil in a red Corvette

I sold my soul but I can't pay rent

Eighty hours a week

Fifty years and you die

Doc I can't sleep

Well here's a pill to get high

Boss I need a break

But boy you're mine

I sold my soul to a suit and tie

Brandy works the graveyard down at the Walmart

Doug long hauls in a Mac Truck real far

They've got three kids and two paychecks

A little bit of land and a whole lot of debt

Well I bust my ass and what do I get

Another IOU to the IRS

And some DC devil in a red Corvette

I sold my soul but I can't pay rent

Eighty hours a week

Fifty years and you die

Doc I can't sleep

Well here's a pill to get high

Boss I need a break

But boy you're mine

I sold my soul to a suit and tie

It's blind rat racin'

Runnin' through a maze and they pull all the strings and they keep on takin'

Half of my dimes

All of my time

Sold on a dream that turned into a lie

Well I bust my ass and what do I get

Another IOU to the IRS

And some DC devil in a red Corvette

I sold my soul but I can't pay rent

Eighty hours a week

Fifty years and you die

Doc I can't sleep

Well here's a pill to get high

Boss I need a break

But boy you're mine

I sold my soul to a suit and tie
