| For years I’ve been bustin' my rear |
| To make a livin' but it ain’t made |
| For years I’ve been tryin' to pay off my bills |
| But they ain’t paid. |
| I owe every dime I make, every sould I know |
| The higher up I reach the further down I go |
| And this old broken back of mine is all I’ve got to show, and anyway |
| A working man can’t get nowhere today. |
| Lord, a working man can’t get nowhere today |
| A working man ain’t got no time to play |
| Today I work my fanny off and leave it lay |
| A working man can’t get nowhere today. |
| I pay my income tax and the government gives back |
| What I got coming, Lord, but it ain’t much |
| I paid my child support 'cause I’m a law abiing sort |
| And easy touch, yet I starve myself to death. |
| Tryin' to keep my family fed, I keep my budget tight |
| Tryin' to keep myself ahead but I’d still be dee in debt |
| The day that I fall dead, that’s why I say |
| Lord, a working man can’t get nowhere today. |
| Well a working man can’t get nowhere today |
| A working man ain’t got no time to play |
| Tonight I work my fanny off and leave it lay |
| A working man can’t get nowhere today. |
| A working man can’t get nowhere today… |
