**"Door Shop Blues"**
*(Verse 1)*
I wake up at dawn, it's the same old view,
Steel and sawdust, and nothing feels new.
The doors keep swinging, one by one,
Each frame’s a prison till the day is done.
*(Chorus)*
I got the door shop blues, oh, they’re weighing me down,
Building my escape in this cold hard town.
A hammer sings the melody, the nails keep the time,
Dreaming of freedom through the grain and the grime.
*(Verse 2)*
The boss keeps yelling, but I just nod my head,
Punchin’ that clock ‘til my spirit feels dead.
A stack of oak and pine, a never-ending line,
Dreaming of a door that’ll set me free in time.
*(Chorus)*
I got the door shop blues, oh, they’re weighing me down,
Building my escape in this cold hard town.
A hammer sings the melody, the nails keep the time,
Dreaming of freedom through the grain and the grime.
*(Bridge)*
Oh, I hear that whistle blow, it cuts through the air,
I’ll keep my hands steady, I’ll keep my heart there.
One day I'll walk out through a door of my own,
Leave this shop behind, find a life unknown.
*(Outro)*
I’ll trade these door shop blues for a song of the free,
No more frames or hinges chaining me.
Until that day comes, I’ll keep building away,
Singing the blues for another working day.
