Waiting in the fields, but I ain\'t (am not)
I\'m not wasting a second. I\'m
lighting up tobacco leaves; stained (cancerous)
I\'m standing, cigarette under my shoe. But
the men are walking \'round (around)
Walking around me like a swarm (helping hand)
Drooping eyes; working hand; here I am digging
(guilt, still) \"Hey look I\'m sorry for standing \'round\"
(around) \"—standing \'round\"
Men ain\'t (are not) ain\'t saying a word
Look to the farmhouse, never liked it (beauty)
Never liked that awful red, that sickly white
I think that light\'s still on (help, stay)
\"Imma,\" (I\'m going to) \"Imma
go check on the house boys, thanks a ton.\"
Trudging through the mud (dirt)
It\'s wet (dry) out, \'specially as I open the
door. Guess I — (stop) Guess I — (stop)
Jesus, guess I\'ll walk on out (fire)
Lightbulb still needs fixin\' (fixing)
Lightbulb still needs fixing.
