20,000
men have passed through these gates
Since opened the mill, back in ’38
And soon there’s gonna be room for one more
I’m gonna miss them coffee break conversations
Those carry-in dinners before Christmas vacation
Miss the guys on the line, but I won’t miss the overtime
CHORUS:
My friends offer opinions, they offer advice
Their intentions are good, tell me I better think twice
But I’ve prayed for discretion, this time the choice is clear
I’m gonna listen to a voice that no one else can hear
That steady paycheck was always good to see
But that security kept me from my dreams
I gotta take the risk, so I never have to wonder "what if"
(I just keep thinkin’) ’bout what I’m gonna achieve
Once I dedicate myself to what I wanna be
That company time will turn into mine
CHORUS
It’ll be quite a change, once I say goodbye
That blue collar career, been such a part of my life
But I’ve prayed for direction, and this time the choice is
clear
I’m gonna listen to a voice that no one else can hear
CHORUS |
