Main Street Sky lyrics

I was good at tending bar
They called me Our Lady of O Reilly s
I could talk to me in trouble
And I know the difference between poison and truth
But I crashed my car last March
And the back was full of empty quarts of vodka
So I walk to work at midnight,
At the Donut Town down on Main St.
And the big trucks roll by
They shake the ground like thunder
But there s nothing flashing under
The Main Street sky
I won t wear the damn uniform they gave us
When you re my size, you don t wear orange
Well I may not be your beauty,
But I swear I will not be your clown
And Ginny will not fire me
I m the only one who s here on time
So we have this little understanding
That we just don t get along
And the big trucks roll by
They shake the ground like thunder
But there s nothing flashing under
The Main Street sky
I put a pot on for the truckers
And I put one on for myself
And from 2am till 5,
I can just park it and read
And I m going back to school
I don t care if it s a load of crap
Cause my future things he s sitting at the counter
With his "Hey, darlin " and a feedcap
And the big trucks roll by
They shake the ground like thunder
But there s nothing flashing under
The Main Street sky
