Lower On The Hog |
| I’ve been workin' at a sawmill earnin' every dime I make |
| Lookin' at my check stub cussin' what the tax man takes |
| My baby’s dependin' on me oh Lord to bring the bacon home |
| But it’s just salt pork we’re eating lower on the hog |
| But if I die in the mornin' they can’t say I didn’t pay my way |
| With honest sweat and elbow grease and doin' what the foremen say |
| But after we buy groceries, pay the rent and the telephone |
| I’m broke, it’s gone, what’s goin' on |
| There’s a lot less scrap to throw out to the dog |
| I’m makin' more now and eatin' lower on the hog |
| There’s people standin' with their hands out formin' a welfare line |
| Savin' their back while I’m out breakin' mine |
| I ain’t worried about the federal budget or the L.A. city smog |
| I’m workin' overtime and eatin' lower on the hog |
| But if I die in the mornin' they can’t say I didn’t pay my way |
| With honest sweat and elbow grease and doin' what the foremen say |
| But after we buy groceries, pay the rent and the telephone |
| I’m broke, it’s gone, what’s goin' on |
| There’s a lot less scrap to throw out to the dog |
| I’m makin' more now and eatin' lower on the hog |
| There’s a lot less scrap to throw out to the dog |
| I’m makin' more now and eatin' lower on the hog |
