On Carey Street

I'm goin' down on Carey Street
 Goin' way on down in the summer heat
 Goin' down on Carey street
 For loadin' 16 tons again
 Been a long time since I left my home
 Toked the Big Smoke as I was roamin' around
 Since then I made nada
 With my Stratocaster made down in Ensenada
 I'm goin' down on Carey Street
 Goin' way on down in the summer heat
 Goin' down on Carey street
 For loadin' 16 tons again
 I'm down where the money burns
 Another day older but I'll never learn
 Playin' round for the unconcerned
 Bleedin' fingers and nothin' earned
 I'm goin' down on Carey Street
 Goin' way on down in the summer heat
 Goin' down on Carey street
 For loadin' 16 tons again
 But there's a fire burnin' still after all this time
 And its burnin' in a belly full of number 9
 When it seems my dreams may never be
 I just load it up like Tennessee
 I'm goin' down on Carey Street
 Goin' way on down in snow and sleet
 Goin' down on Carey street
 For loadin' 16 tons
 One more time...
 I'm goin' down on Carey Street
 Goin' way on down where the deadbeat meet
 You load 15 tons and then repeat
 Down Carey Street again
 Down Carey Street again
 Down Carey street again
