Main Street Sky Lyrics - Singles - Blumenfeld Hugh

I was good at tending bar 

They called me Our Lady of O'Reilly's 

I could talk to me in trouble 

and I know the difference between poison and truth 

But I crashed my car last March 

And the back was full of empty quarts of vodka 

So I walk to work at midnight, 

at the Donut Town down on Main St. 

And the big trucks roll by 

They shake the ground like thunder 

But there's nothing flashing under 

The Main Street sky 

I won't wear the damn uniform they gave us 

When you're my size, you don't wear orange 

Well I may not be your beauty, 

but I swear I will not be your clown 

And Ginny will not fire me 

I'm the only one who's here on time 

So we have this little understanding 

that we just don't get along 

And the big trucks roll by 

They shake the ground like thunder 

But there's nothing flashing under 

The Main Street sky 

I put a pot on for the truckers 

and I put one on for myself 

and from 2am till 5, 

I can just park it and read 

And I'm going back to school 

I don't care if it's a load of crap 

cause my future things he's sitting at the counter 

with his "Hey, darlin'" and a feedcap 

And the big trucks roll by 

They shake the ground like thunder 

But there's nothing flashing under 

The Main Street sky
