Verse
C Hi-i often Gtake these Amnight shift Cwalks when the Fforeman's not aAmround
I Fturn my back on the Ccooling Fstacks and Cmake for Dmopen Gground
Far Amout Fbeyond the Gtank-farm Cfence where the Fgas flare makes no Amsound
I forFget the stink and I alCways Fthink back Cto that GEastern town

Verse
C I remember Gback six Amyears aCgo this FWestern life I Amchose
And Fevery day the Cnews would Fsay some Cfactory's Dmgone to Gclose
Well I Amcould have Fstayed to Gtake the Cdole but FI'm not one of Amthose
I take Fnothing free and Cthat makes Fme an iCdiot GI supCpose
Chorus
So I Fbid fareGwell to the CEastern town I Amnever Gmore will Csee
But Fwork I Gmust so I Ceat this dust and Ambreathe reDmfineGry
Oh I Ammiss the Fgreen and the Gwoods and Cstreams and I Fdon't like cowboy Amclothes
FBut I like being free and Cthat makes Fme an iCdiot GI supCpose

Verse
C So come all you Gfine young Am'fellers Cwho've been Fbeaten to the Amground
This Fwestern life's no CparaFdise but it's Cbetter than Dmlying Gdown
Oh the Amstreets aren't Fclean and there's Gnothing Cgreen and the Fhills are dirty Ambrown
But the Fgovernment dole will Crot your Fsoul back Cthere in Gyour home Ctown
Chorus
So I Fbid fareGwell to the CEastern town I Amnever Gmore will Csee
There's Fself-resGpect and a Csteady cheque in Amthis reDmfineGry
You will Ammiss the Fgreen and the Gwoods and Cstreams and the Fdust will fill your Amnose
But Fyou'll be free and Cjust like Fme an Cidiot GI supCpose
