His clothes are hot and sweaty,
His mind is in full swing,
He has an idea what he wants,
And wonders what today will bring.
He's waving cars down for a lift,
And needs to get back home,
Cause he's been working in the silo's,
and he's little wife's all alone.
They needed all the money,
he couldn't get a break,
So he left her alone,
To work and keep her safe.
The money that he always earned,
he saved it all each day,
So he could give it to her,
When he arrived home that day.
But he didn't know the consequence,
of walking down that lane,
until he was lying on the ground
with a bullet in his brain.
He walked in on the wrong deal,
to walk in on, it seems,
and his little wife, alone at home,
will only see him in her dreams.
If he had got home easier,
and had lived to see the day,
His wife would have told him,
That a little one was on the way.
He never did a damn thing wrong,
And tried only to survive,
And to help his poor old family now,
He'd have to be alive.
