chris larose - painted window (forty-two years) lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
forty-two years in the brick plant i will go
stack them bricks head high on the floor
when work is done and i head home
the sun don’t shine no more
forty-two years in the brick plant i will go

[chorus]
so i will paint me a window open wide
i will let my soul fly
through painted clouds on a painted sky
a painted train rolling by
through painted hills on cardboard on the wall

[verse 2]
gas line blew and k!lled two yesterday
they told us shut off valves were on their way
to save a dime they told that lie
laid fathers in their graves
well, a gas line blew and k!lled two yesterday

[chorus]
so i will paint me a window open wide
i will let my soul fly
through painted clouds on a painted sky
a painted train rolling by
through painted hills on cardboard on the wall

[verse 3]
i sold my body to the company
to try to pay to raise a family
two burnt out lungs and two bum knees
that’s what they gave to me
i sold my body to the foundry

[chorus]
so i will paint me a window open wide
i will let my soul fly
through painted clouds on a painted sky
a painted train rolling by
through painted hills on cardboard on the wall

[bridge]
we left our lives here on the factory floor
they worked us hard ’til we can’t work no more
they used us up then threw us out
lured new men through the door
we left our lives here on the factory floor
(forty-two years here on the factory floor)

[chorus]
so i will paint me a window open wide
i will let my soul fly
through painted clouds on a painted sky
a painted train rolling by
through painted hills on cardboard on the wall
so i will paint me a window open wide
i will let my soul fly
through painted clouds on a painted sky
a painted train rolling by
through painted hills on cardboard on the wall
