lyrics
I've been working all day long
I've been breaking my back
To feed your greed and pay your rent
I've been working all day long
I say my prayers to passing trains
I set out burning candles for the saints
Old Crow, won't you teach me how to fly
So I can ride them rails in the pale moonlight
You got yourself a whore
You broke me down, deceive and mistreat me
Make me bow, make me smile
You got yourself a whore
I can't be your woman no more
I can't be no cupcake baking, shit taking, baby making
I can't be your woman no more
