Corey Hart - Chippin' Away lyrics

Are you ready?

Thumbs are up.

One, two, three, four.

Hey mister take a load off let me explain

I'm not hidin' from you carry the blame

Have yourself a good look from the Saskatoon plain

Nothing's that clear in life I swear by the claim

I rack my conscience for the will to achieve

I could lie, die, cry and to this day not receive

Cause I'm not steady like Eddy

I may not smile for awhile

Got a little of the devil and a mean streak

Cause I hope to one day be complete

In the meantime, yes

We're just chippin' away?

Eh, got 'ole Michael Hehir playin' on guitar

Sometimes we go for months

Not talk at all

No crumblin' wall here

The journey's come too far

'O rocket spaceship

Take us to the stars

They're building castles

Straight up to the sky

But the Empire States

Still looks to me like it's high

(I'm not steady like Eddy

I may not smile for awhile

Got a little of the devil, and a mean streak)

Cause I hope to one day be complete

In the meantime, yes

We're just chippin' away?

O yea

(I'm not steady like Eddy

I may not smile for awhile)

Got a little of the devil and a mean streak

I hope to one day be complete, yea

I'm not steady like Eddy, 'o no

And I may not smile for awhile

Got a little of the devil and a mean streak, yea

I hope to one day be complete

God I'm not steady like Eddy, 'o no

I may not smile for awhile

God bless the poor man, who knows what he seeks

Cause I hope to one day be complete

In the meantime, yes (yoa)

We're just chippin' away

O-o, (yoa)

O-o

O-o.

"Ha, ha, I'm a bastard." (spoken
