Verse 1
G C G Well the roller guys were high and ol' Lenny was dry G D The old man pulled up in that pickup truck (Silverado!) G C G He said, "Boys, hurry up. I got Big Jim coming with the pup D G and that god damn silo at the plant is full."
Verse 2
G C G "I know there's rain overhead but boys we still gotta spread G D Even if that anti-stripper kills you all. (And it will!) G C G I'm gonna work you like a dog through the sunshine, snow and fog. D G Don't expect an early layoff in the fall."
Chorus
Em G Laying down that wretched blacktop G Staying late for another load D But I don't wanna see that road again. Em Ten thousand ton 'til I see my home again
Verse 3
G C G I ain't got no education, I don't give a fuck about segregation G D Compaction? You can drive that up your ass (All the way up!) G C G I'd rather be lying in the shade with an ice cold beer, I'd have it made D G Aw hell, I'd even rather cut the grass
Chorus
Em G Laying down that wretched blacktop G Staying late for another load D But I don't wanna see that road again. Em Ten thousand ton 'til I see my home again

Verse 4
G C G Late in the year we fall behind and the only chance for piece of mind G D Is when the plant breaks down or it begins a-rainin' G C G On days like that we don't make a dime, so I'll tell you folks how we pass the time D G By telling lies, making bets and complaining
Chorus
Em G 'Bout laying down that wretched blacktop G Staying late for another load D But I don't wanna see that road again. Em Ten thousand ton 'til I see my home again

Verse 5
G C G You may think I'm a whiny bitch and some folks would say that I'm a snitch G D But you'd change your tune if you were in my shoes G C G I can't pretend that life is fine, slaving here on ol' 289 D C Truth is, I can't shake these blacktop blues
