Well I'm making big money a workin' at Bethlehem Steel
And I drive a big car and I look like a pretty big wheel
But I'd rather be home now a plowin' a Tennessee field
Instead of making big money a workin' at Bethlehem Steel

Guess I better get goin' now I better get on home now
Goodbye honey goodbye money goodbye automobile
Goodbye honey goodbye money goodbye Bethlehem Steel
[ steel ]
Well I spend all the money I'm making at Bethlehem Steel
Just to satisfy woman who don't understand how I feel
How I'd love to sit down to a home cut Tennessee meal
Instead of making big money a workin' at Bethlehem Steel

Guess I better get goin' now...
I guess I better get goin' now I better get on home now
I guess I better get goin' now I better get on home now
