Stompin' Tom Connors - Broken Wings Lyrics

|When the ‘Big Wheel' strolls around man, do you dread it?|When the workplace gets you down boy, do you let it?|And do you think your boss, is just a jolly old Santa Clause|We'll there's a clause in Murphy's Law, says ‘Just forget it'.||CHORUS:|This old world is so unforgivin'|It's a wonder how a good man keeps on livin'|No matter what you try, you can work and laugh or cry,|But you won't fly them Broken Wings to heaven. (X2)||Do you bring your pay-cheque home or do you bank it?|Or does your wife hand up the phone because you drank it?|And does your old dog bite, when you sleep with him at night?|Or does he cuddle up real tight there in the blanket? - CHORUS||Does the phone call say, there's someone at the station?|And your mother-in-law is here for a long vacation?|And man, does she look mad; she's found out you've been bad,|And she's got no time for 'simple' conversation.|- CHORUS|
