highwaymen - welfare line lyrics

well now, boys i’ve been to bethlehem
rode there on a big steam train
lost two fenders in the steel wheels
and i ain’t goin’ back again
i fought for my country
lord knows i did my best
crawlin’ cross some foreign field
they pinned a ribbon to my chest
so p-ss around the bottle boys
let’s talk about old times
night’s rollin’ in, it’s cold as sin
here on the welfare line
served on a georgia road gang
couldn’t pay the debts i owed
‘cos i ain’t made of silver
and i ain’t ever seen no gold
i still remember rachel
soft as a velvet gown
they laid her in a pauper’s grave
on the other side of town
so p-ss around the bottle boys
let’s talk about old times
night’s rollin’ in, it’s cold as sin
here on the welfare line
now some folks are born to money
you know i wish ’em well
if the devil should ever want my soul
i swear i’d never sell
so p-ss around the bottle boys
let’s talk about old times
night’s rollin’ in, it’s cold as sin
here on the welfare line
