The Factory Lyrics - I Prefer The Moonlight - Kenny Rogers

I can't say that he loved his work but he fed a family of nine 

Papa never heard of a union, he logged his scale in time 

But he was a lucky man 

At least he had a job down at the factory 

Forty years cut across his back fightin' it tooth and nail 

Work was hard enough to make a man forget his fear of hell 

He was a thankful man 

He had a job down at the factory 

Sometimes through the walls at night I'd hear him on his knees 

Prayin', "Lord, please help me through another day 

Give me strength and bless this house, this family of mine 

And thank you, Lord, for my job down at the factory"

It's hard for a man to build a life on a miller's pay 

But like father, just like son, at least I could pay my way 

I'm a lucky man 

I've got a job down at the factory 

As I put my kids to bed, wonder what's in store 

Ask the Lord for a better way 'cause they deserve much more 

Than to raise their own 

With just a job down at the fact'ry

Sometimes when it's late at night I get down on my knees 

Prayin, "Lord, please help me through another day 

And give me strength and bless this house, this family of mine 

Thank you, Lord, for my job down at the factory" 

We've got more than some 

At least I got a job down at the factory
