Forty Years Gone

Lyrics

[Verse]
Forty years on the factory line,
Sweat and toil, it's been my grind.
But today I hang my work boots high,
No more listening to their bullshit lies.

[Verse 2]
They say I should stay one more day,
Like they care about my pay.
But I see through their thin disguise,
They want it more than I, that's no surprise.

[Chorus]
Forty years, I've given my all,
From sunrise 'til the night did fall.
Now it's my turn to walk away,
Can't convince me, I'm done today.

[Verse 3]
Morning coffee with no more rush,
Easy living, feeling lush.
They can keep their promises, hollow and sly,
I won't be their pawn or their standby.

[Verse 4]
Fishing by the river, watch the sky,
Freedom among the trees, oh so high.
They can beg and plea, but I've made my way,
Today marks the end of my working days.

[Bridge]
They wanted me to stay and grind,
But I've had enough of wasting time.
I'll take my peace, no compromise,
I've earned this life, I realize.
