When my shift is over
And I'm headed home
I don't listen to the radio
I like to be alone, I like to be aloneI've had my fill of people
And all that factory noise
I listen to the engine
It's a sound that I enjoy
It's a sound that I enjoySo I drive on past the drive-in
On past the movie lights
Past the fenced in fantasies
That slip into the night
I slip into the night
Chorus:
Down in the milltown
The milltown so low
Hang your head over
Feel the wind blowI wonder what's for dinner
If she'll be waiting there
She has to wake up early
She has to do her hair
She has to do her hairAnd if I need a cold one
There's a tavern up the street
The company of loners
Is still company to me
Yes, they're company to meRepeat Chorus
And if my dreams treat me badly
And I cry out at night
Shake me to my senses
And I will be alright
Yes, I will be alrightRepeat Chorus Twice
