Straight Lines For Construction Workers Lyrics

franklin was a construction worker down on the east side
of town the folks there say he let his loved ones down
but what did they know cuz the sky was so close his
family so poor nobody says nothing when a hard-hat hits
the ground except when he's got bills to pay and owes
money all over town so they found the note that read so
long farewell cruel world but folks die everyday he's
giving it up it said but he's been saving it up for years the pressure is building sometimes it's too great we all
know frankie's gotta get away oh god please don't tell my
son i went this way she put her heart in a suitcase along
with everything else she moved in with her mother
couldn't stand being by herself all the while thinking
her future looks black and the past all seems gray
