Blue Collar

I been down in Pennsylvania
Where I was working in the mine
And I been down in Cincinnati
They laid me off the assembly line
Yeah, they got me looking everywhere
But I aint too proud of what I found
And you cant name where I aint been down
Cause there aint no place I aint been down
I was down in Kansas City
Where even the blues sell by the pound
And I been down in New York City, brother
And that aint no place to be down
Yeah, Im a-looking at the face of the children
You see, were looking for a higher ground
And you cant name where we aint been down
Cause there aint no place we aint been down
We fell down somewhere
Between the cities and the towns
We went down, I know
Between the smiles and the frowns
And if they call me in the morning
I mean, Id recognize the sound
Cause you cant name where we aint been down
There aint no place we aint been down
Standing in the shadows
It shonuff looks like rain
I see the steel-gray clouds above me
Yeah, well the anguish and the pain
Yeah, I been looking everywhere for peace
But I swear, there just aint none around
But you cant name where I aint been down
Cause there aint no place I aint been down
We been down
Between the cities and the towns
Yeah, been down somewhere
Between the smiles and the frowns
And if they call me in the morning
I mean, Id recognize the sound
Cause you cant name where I aint been downThere ain't no place I aint been down
