Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Early in the morning

Going to meet a man

Wants a truck unloadin' for cash-in-hand

You don't ask questions

When there's nothin' in the bank

Got to feed the kids and put the diesel in the tank

[Verse 2]

Bacon, egg, and sausage

Double chips and beans

Tea, and bread, and butter

And a day on the machines

Christmas is coming

With the final demand

What you got going for cash-in-hand

[Verse 3]

So it ain't too pretty

Corned beef city

It ain't too pretty

Corned beef city

[Verse 4]

Early in the morning

Where the trucks all stand

I've got a pocket full of foldin' and a pair of jerry cans

I've got to keep it going

They're layin' off at Ford

I'm only one step ahead of my room and board

[Verse 5]

So it ain't too pretty

Corned beef city

It ain't too pretty

Corned beef city

Corned beef city

[Verse 6]

Early in the mornin'

Going to meet a man

Wants a truck unloadin' for cash-in-hand

You don't ask questions

When there's nothing in the bank

Got to feed the kids and put the diesel in the tank

[Verse 7]

So it ain't too pretty

Corned beef city

It ain't too pretty

Corned beef city
