He was leaning on his shovel and rolled a smoke
Said listen here buddy this ain’t no joke
Takes about as long as this cigarette to tell you everything I know
It’s got nothing to do with being satisfied
Or liking the work that we do
And the pay’s a lot better too

A lot better too, a lot better too
The weather is better than six feet under
And the pay’s a lot better too

He said I’ve never really been anywhere
Reckon I never will
I couldn’t tell you if the grass is greener on the far side of the hill
But I keep my eyes open wide
This I know to be true
The weather is better than six feet under
And the pay’s a lot better too

A lot better too, a lot better too
The weather is better than six feet under
And the pay’s a lot better too

This is all the wisdom that you’re gonna get
From a hand-rolled Bugler cigarette
Next break we take I’ll roll another if you ain’t got it yet
If the job’s too hard you can quit today
Just see what that will do
But the weather is better than six feet under
And the pay’s a lot better too

A lot better too, a lot better too
The weather is better than six feet under
And the pay’s a lot better too
