Lyrics
[Verse]
High school was a hurdle barely cleared
Dreams were small but hopes were steered
Union job
Thought I was set
Turns out
The game ain't over yet
[Chorus]
Oh
The pension blues
They hit me hard
Living on scraps in my backyard
Blythe's the town where dreams go dry
Eating cat food just to get by
[Verse 2]
Marked the earth
Measured the sky
Hands worn raw
I’d never ask why
But they took my dues
They took my years
Left me alone with all these fears
[Prechorus]
They promised gold
They gave me rust
Now every paycheck’s built on trust
[Chorus]
Oh
The pension blues
They hit me hard
Living on scraps in my backyard
Blythe's the town where dreams go dry
Eating cat food just to get by
[Bridge]
They stole my future
They sold me lies
Now I map the stars in empty skies
A can of tuna
A spoon
Some bread
That’s my feast
My daily dread
Style
grittybluesraw acoustic with a walking bassline and slide guitar
