This labor I've been
doing ain't got
no reason or rhyme
And I can hardly wait
for it to finally be
quittin' time
And I've been pushing
steel through a run down
rust belt plant
And I can't wait to
head on home
so I can take
my gal to dance
How I'll take
my gal to dance
Oh I'll take
my gal to dance
The desert sure is hot
and we've been working
through the days
I pray I get back to
my loving lady's gaze
Rifle in my hand and
some brothers to my side
I can hardly wait for it
to finally be
quittin' time
Oh I pray it'll be
quittin' time
Oh one day it'll be
quittin' time
Quittin' time's
on my mind
but her kind eyes are
on my heart
I've been sweating
for my wages
but she'll cool me
after dark
How she'll cool me
after dark
I know she'll cool me
after dark
And I've been roofing
houses atop of homes
I can't afford
But I'm saving all
my pennies and
I'm praying to the Lord
One day we'll make it
through all this
barely gettin' by
I'm taking out my woman
and we're dancing
barefoot tonight
Quittin' time's
on my mind
but her kind eyes are
on my heart
I've been sweating
for my wages
but she'll cool me
after dark
How she'll cool me
after dark
Oh she'll cool me
after dark
