Door Shop Blues

**"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.
