Lyrics

Bone Orchard Blues
---------------------
The boss wants a body and he don't care whose
Everybody's trying to find a way to cut loose
But we're all in the union, so you gotta pay your dues
Everybody's got to get the bone orchard blues

CHORUS:
Bone orchard blues, bone orchard blues
You're betting on a horse that you know is gonna lose
High road, low road, any way you choose
They're all gonna lead you to the bone orchard blues

A nip over here, a tuck over there
Pulling and stretching and dying your hair
Scraping at the mud, but it's still on your shoes
We all get buried in the bone orchard blues

Flood is coming and it's heading your way
Running won't help you, if today is your day
Noah took a rain check, he put them in twos
But he still ended up with them bone orchard blues

You can buy a new face, but it won't help you none
What about your heart and your liver and your lungs
Suck out the fat, you can peel off the pounds
Your ass still gonna end up in the ground

Bone orchard blues, bone orchard blues
You're betting on a horse that you know is gonna lose
High road, low road, any way you choose
They're all gonna lead you to the bone orchard blues
