C F G C
Well I joined me the union a long time ago
C F G C
And now the paint in my bucket resembles my soul
C F G C
I don't paint for the union, they paint for me
C F G C
And a fine union painter I'll always be
On my way to Nevada, well I broke myself down
Here I've been stranded five years in this town
Well I heard of a place, a place I could stay
They said I'd find Jesus, and be on my way
Am F G C
Well they said I'd find Jesus, that's what they raved
F C G C
But I wound up in prison just before I was saved
F C G C
Yea I would up in prison just before I was saved
Well I travel the country, but I don't have a home
And I'm surrounded by others, but I'm always alone
And when the paintin' time comes, I jump back on a train
And spend all my green dollars just to poison my veins
Well they said I'd find Jesus, that's what they raved
But I wound up in prison just before I was saved
Yea I would up in prison just before I was saved
I was dead on arrival when I opened my eyes
I'm still searchin' for freedom in these southern skies
I don't paint for the union, they paint for me
C F G C
And a fine union painter I'll always be
F C G C
Yes a fine union painter I'll always be
