What Am I Supposed to Do - Whitey Morgan and the 78's

I hired on back in '85

February 28

They stuck me on that midnight shift

It became the job that I loved to hate

Met a girl and we said our vows

Tried for a kid, ended up with two

Now it seems that they’re shuttin' this town down

What am I supposed to do?

What am I supposed to do, Lord?

What am I supposed to do?

When this is all I have ever know

What am I supposed to do?

I reside on the northeast side

Where the family settled back in '33

I sold the car just to save the house

It’s gettin' hard to hold on to anything

Well them union boys, they made some noise

In the end, they had to feed their families too

Them dues I paid, they can’t help me now

So what am I supposed to do?

What am I supposed to do, Lord?

What am I supposed to do?

When this is all I have ever known

What am I supposed to do?

I sit by as the city slowly dies

And I wonder about my fate

All the sympathy on the evening news

I’ve had about all I can take

I’m forty-five and I’ve got no place to hide

I’ve got nothing left to lose

Is this what I get after all that I gave?

What am I supposed to do?

What am I supposed to do, Lord?

What am I supposed to do?

When this is all I have ever know

What am I supposed to do?

What am I supposed to do, Lord?

What am I supposed to do?

When this is all I have ever know

What am I supposed to do?
