Six Bucks A Day (1978) |
I’ve been ramblin' out Montana way |
Tryin' to live on a cow punchers pay |
Been changin' them dams in the new summer hay |
Irrigating alfalfa for six bucks a day |
I’ll tell you my story I’d be on my way |
But the savings are slow to come on six bucks a day |
Out here in the fields while the water runs down |
With the sun high above me and the sky all around |
I’m dreamin' my dreams of the Canada line |
And the places I’d go if the money was mine |
I’ll tell you my story… |
Come Saturday night well you draw out some pay |
Then you go into town just to throw it away |
And when the end of the month comes rolling your way |
Well you ain’t got much left on six bucks a day |
I’ll tell you my story… |
Now if I drew out my time and I paid off my debts |
I couldn’t get to Great Falls on what I have left |
But I’ve got me no choice when them diesel horns blow |
Come a wind from the highway I got to pack up and go |
Yeah money or none at all they can’t hold me this way |
For my blankets are rolled and tied and I’m leavin' today |
