[Mark Knopfler - Corned Beef City lyrics]

Early in the morning going to meet a man
Wants a truck unloading for cash-in hand
You don't ask questions
When there's nothing in the bank
Got to feed the kids
And put the diesel in the tank

Bacon, egg and sausage
Double chips and beans
Tea and bread and butter
And a day on the machines
Christmas is coming with the final demand
What you got going for cash in hand

So it ain't too pretty corned Beef City
It ain't too pretty corned Beef City

Early in the morning
Where the trucks all stand
I've got a pocket full of folding
And a pair of jerry cans

I've got to keep it going
They're laying off at Ford
I'm only one step ahead of my room and board

Early in the morning going to meet a man
Wants a truck unloading for cash-in hand
You don't ask questions
When there's nothing in the bank
Got to feed the kids
And put the diesel in the tank
