    Artist: Drayton Farley
    Album: A Hard up Life
    Lyrics:
    There’s a job that I’ve been working
    It pays me just enough to fuck me up
    And bring me down like a house of cards
    But now I’m off and now I’m hurting
    So honey could you close the blinds
    And hold me tight and keep me warm ‘til the morning comes
    It pays a few of the bills
    I take a few of the pills
    I wonder if I’m living
    Or if I’m just alive
    ‘Cause I’m as blue as my collar
    It’s who I am it’s from I’m from
    Way down south where the lowest of the lows are damned
    It’s a place unforgiving
    It’s a soul sucking son of a bitch
    And the work seems to be all there is
    It pays a few of the bills
    I take a few of the pills
    I wonder if I’m living
    Or if I’m just alive

    I’m a pipefitter and I’m 99% healed from fuckin my back up. This song hits me hard, and was one of the few things that got me through it. Avoiding the pills they push on you because I don’t wanna end up a heroin addict. Thanks for making this man

      Suboxone doesn’t help everyone but it completely got me to stop chasing the dragon. I know it’s another addiction tho I’ve seen too many friends die from this fetenyal shit. Good luck, brethren.

    This guy sounds like Tyler Childers. Also, this isn't stolen land. Much of it we purchased from the natives and the rest we won thru war with them. They were killing each other over tribal areas before we even came. Also, the American dream isn't bullshit. Despite being a clone of Tyler Childers, I was digging your music until I got to this song, sounds like you have taken more inspiration from him lately than just his music style and voice.

      Tyler has some incredible songwriting skills and I'm proud to admit that his work has inspired me deeply as an artist.
      To your second point, I believe that the "American Dream" is a very outdated idea that we still hold onto despite the fact that it simply couldn't keep pace with the changing times and has since deteriorated into nothing more than an impossibility within a pipe dream.
      Lastly, the "stolen land " reference was a simple line of truth and I can't begin to understand why that line might have upset you in any way. We essentially manipulated and ultimately slaughtered an entire people to get this land and if that doesn't fit the definition of stolen (otherwise conquered) then I don't know what does.
      No hard feelings. Listen to my music or don't. The world keeps spinning all the same.

      @@DraytonFarleyMusic Its simply not true that we slaughtered an entire people for land. They were slaughtering each other for land before we even came. You have been taught that I know but its just not true. We did back out of some treaties and so some bad things and they did also. We fought wars against each other and they lost. Deaths are a cost of wars. They are also still around both on their own lands and also assimilated into the general population. My own great grandmother whom I knew, was full blood Cherokee. And the American dream is still very much real and possible, why else do you see all these people at the border now? What has changed is people and their expectations. The average American lives way better than even rich Americans a hundred years ago. People these days are spoiled and don't even realize they already have the American dream. But even at that even greater heights are available for them if they want to put in the work, most dont.
