I'm resting here in the twilight of my life
a lucky man with a wonderful wife
my days of working a job, seem far behind
it's just as well, work blew my mind
I don't miss the chemicals or their smell
my sinuses and lungs are shot to hell
many before me, did not live this long in life
probably due to stress, chemicals and strife
every job has its hazards and its strain
but that old factory caused a lot of pain
many died at or just over fifty years old
I tell you it's crazy if truth be told
many lost their job and then they lost their life
the pain of their loss cuts through like a knife
between asbestos exposure in the navy and chemicals at the factory
I can't help but think I'm as lucky to still be here as any man can be
