Fingers To The Bone Lyrics - Abandon - Deep Purple

Everything went wrong 

I'm sorry boys, I've got to let you go 

We've had some hard times 

And the long rain, it didn't show 

Hired hands, I've seen them come and go 

But you don't come much better 

Today's Blue Monday 

I just got a bad news letter 

This day has come 

The darkest cloud on our horizon 

My hands are tied down 

To that promise note I signed upon 

Always been this way 

It's the poor man who gets hurt 

All you ever work for 

Is to leave your footprints in the dirt

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

You work your fingers to the bone 

The deed is done 

The fruit will fall to someone else's hand 

That's how the land lies 

Now we all know where we stand 

You'll have to walk away 

Don't let them see you running 

Today's Blue Monday 

I should have seen it coming 

You work your fingers to the bone 

If sweat and tears were all it took 

To make this valley green 

We'd be alright but now it's gone 

They've taken everything 

They say it's just an act of God 

And that's the way ill wind blows 

You've got thirty days to pack your bags 

Say goodbye, hit the road 

You work your fingers to the bone
