steppenwolf – smokey factory blues lyrics
words and music by a. hammond & m. hazlewood
early in the misty, misty morning
headin’ for another freeway jam
sleepy eyed and shivering
waking up and wishing it was sunday
i wish it was sunday.
on the radio they’re playin’ love songs.
songs that make me want to turn around
fact’ry gates are up ahead
i wish that i was home in bed with you, my love,
back home with you, my love.
but i work to make a living
and i work without a break
and i work when i am sleeping
and i work when i’m awake
yes, and i’d like to leave the city
but i can’t afford the move
and i think i’m goin’ under
with those way down low down
smokey fact’ry blues.
i was born a lover not a worker.
money doesn’t smell like sweet perfume
some of us feel out of place
with engine oil upon our face.
believe me, you better believe me.
