so i'm workin real hard and not getting paid and i'm sick of this life and i gotta get a break
and i just can't get by anymore. I've been real high and I've been down low
and i live in a shack on a country dirt road and my best friend is my magnum forty four

Well workin' real hard ain't hard to do When you got you a lotta money comin' to you
But I ain't got a dime so I'll just sit here
Even Though I'm Broke I've Got A Six-pack of Beer.

Well I've paid my dues And I've paid my rent And they still try to take everything they can.
Well I thought I had a good thing going on But the sheriff broke my door and he took me on
And he said hey boy you owe the government.

I was raised by myself down in Arkansas
My family had some rich folks' but they'd never call
If they wanna be that way, well that's fine with me
'Cause I ain't got a thing to say to a man filled with greed

Well, if you can't even help your own
Well, my friend one day you're gonna be all alone

Well, I'm real down to earth and I know just how it hurts
To be in a bind, just tryin' to stay alive
Well, I can drink and I can cuss and I can be pretty doggone tough
I like to stay up all night just to see that big sun rise and light up my life

You better keep your eyes on what's goin' on
With the government today 'cause there doin' us wrong
They took the farm away from my poor grand dad
And I never will forgive them for doin' that

Well, if you can't even help your own
Well, my friend one day you're gonna be all alone
Well, if you can't even help your own
Well, my friend one day you're gonna be all alone

Well I'm A Candidate for suicide the more that I get old,
I'm A candidate for suicide the drugs have taken their toll,
I'm A candidate for suicide I was raped at 8 years old,
Well I'm A candidate for suicide cause im a cheap liar and a whore.

(CHORUS)
Well I've been busted up and beaten down no self esteem to make me proud
Anti-social depressed and Cursed well I hope
I feel better when I'm riding in that
Hurst and all my emotions have left me and I no longer hurt

Well I'm A candidate for suicide cause im burned out from too far gone
Well I'm A candidate for suicide no matter what I do it seems wrong
Well I'm A candidate for suicide cause I hurt the ones I love
Well I'm A candidate for suicide caused Ive never laughed at much

I'm all messed up in Texas,
and I'm lookin' for a damn good time.
Well all my friends in Texas,
well they've already lost their minds.
Coz' I've been drunk for 30 days
and I don't care if I die.
And I'm druggin' fast and hard,
and that's the way I spend my time.
And I don't need no one tryin' to tell me how to live my,
Own no good life.
My own HellBilly ride.

(chorus)
Well these Looong long long long hauls.
And those Clooose close close calls.

Coz' the Devil is my friend.
Coz' the Devil is my friend.
Coz' the Devil is my friend.
Coz' the Devil is my friend.

Well why does it hurt when i see you again?
Is is the memories, or Jack Daniels understands?
And I dont know if I'm out of control.
Coz lately I've been spinnin',
and drinkin' alone.

(chorus)
Will you pick up the gun dear, and put me asleep?
Coz' I'm sleepin' on missery and she's cuttin' me real deep.
And I'm all alone.
Driftin' and Stoned.
Bein' too far gone.
Well I'm stoned and alone.

Hell I've been surrounded by whores and thieves.
That was always tryin' to get the best of me.
And I don't mind getting thrown out on the street.
Coz I can get by without much to eat.

(chorus)

3 shades of black is where I come from.
Depression, Missery, and Hellacious fun.
No we're not the kind to turn our backs and run
coz 3 shades of black is where we come from.
We are a certain breed and we dont like you.
Some are junkies some are freaks and others are everyday ghouls.
No one will ever know what we've been through
and we are proud in the light of the moon.

(Chorus)
3 shades of black
3 shades of black
We all like metal and Whiskey!
Livin' Hard and chasin' down Hell.
We'll never give up on what we have because the darkness gives us our thrills.

Yeaaaaaaaahhhh! Yeeeeeaaaaahyeaaaaaaaah!

3 shades of black is where I come from.
I was born in the sacrafice when I was young.
3 shades of black is what makes us strong,
and we all wear it like a uniform of chosen ones.

(Chorus)
3 shades of black.
3 shades of black.
3 shades of black.
We all like metal and Whiskey!
Livin' hard and chasin' down Hell.
We'll never give up on what we have because the darkness gives us our thrills.

Coz' the darkness gives us our thrills...............

I woke up this mornin', kissed my wife goodbye
i pray to god that i'll make it home safe tonight
it's a dangerous job but i take that risk
i'll trade my blood and sweat just to feed my kids
i've been working for the man since a tender age
now a rich politician wants to lower my wage
pour me a drink so i can understand
these are the struggles of a working man
i work outside in the pouring rain
when it's cold as ice when i'm full of pain
it don't matter what i feel inside
as long as the job i'm working gets done on time
the boss man says works getting slow
pack up your tools boys and head on home
i pour another drink and try to understand
these are the struggles of a working man
you see i work construction
i build things
do you understand how important that is to the world?
i don't know if ya'll realize what kind of pressure that puts on a man like me
i love my wife and i raise my son, best i can, better then some
i just found out the other day i got another little one that'ts on the way
i took a new job down at the factory, ya it don't pay much but at least we can eat
i roll up a smoke and think a new plan? (can't really hear that)
these are the struggles of a working man
when down to the river just the other day
got down on my knees and began to pray
i said lord please won't you understand
the struggles of a working man
these are the struggles of a working man
