Expiration Day

I'm a machinist at the Springfield Armory

Just slightly ahead of my time

But I don't make much money

So I sell eggs and chickens on the sideI'm good at what I do

And I take great pride

But I don't make much money

So I sell eggs and chickens on the sideAnd my wife does love me

But she can't realize

Why I won't go back down south

And leave the armory behindBut I love my job

I'll shave metal until I die

And until I do, I'll take on

Any extra thing it takes to provideAnd I know it'll kill me

Breathing all those fumes

But I'd sooner sniff solution

Than a baker's dozen hothouse bloomsAnd my wife does love me

But she can't realize

Why I won't go back down south

And leave the armory behindBut I feel it is important

What I do upon my lathe

I pledge to do the detail work

Until my expiration dayUntil my expiration day

Until my expiration day

Until my expiration day
