🎶 Sixteen Tons song analysis

The song is about a man who works hard in a mine and owes his soul to the company store because he can't afford to pay for his basic needs. He feels trapped and tired, and even if he worked endlessly, he would still be in debt. He warns others to step aside because he has been through hardship and is tough, with fists of iron and steel.
