| 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 |
| Oh, every dime I make, every soul 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 go no time to play |
| Today I work my 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, it ain’t much |
| I pay my child support 'cause I’m a law abiding soul |
| And an easy touch starve myself to death |
| Kinda keep my family fit, I keep my budget tight |
| Kinda get myself ahead |
| But I’d still be deep in debt |
| The day that I fall dead, that’s why I say |
| Lord, a working man can’t get nowhere today |
| A working man can’t get nowhere today |
| A working man ain’t go no time to play |
| Tonight I work my leave it lay |
| A working man can’t get nowhere today |
| A working man can’t get nowhere today |
