Lyrics
Well 7 years ago today with the promise of a living wage..
I put my dreams aside and took that interview..
It was a selfless act I thought, but my dreams had been bought
For $7.29 & A Pair of Boots..
Well I worked my life away, waiting on another day.
A weekend just to spend an hour or two..
But the ship that has me bound, well it's slowly sinking down...
For $7.29 & a pair of boots...
Well the dream was like Angel wings lord, I get so carried away..
Now i'm working all week long just to get along because I got hell to pay..
The boss is screaming at me, saying I'm easily replaced..
For $7.29 & a pair of boots..
Ive been working this line for years and when I die they're gonna bury me here..
Box me up and send me on the way..
And after all those double shifts, well they took my life and split...
For $7.29 & a pair of boots...
Well the dream was like Angel wings lord, I get so carried away..
Now i'm working all week long just to get along because I got hell to pay..
The boss is screaming at me, saying I'm easily replaced..
For $7.29 & a pair of boots..
