Working Man Can't Get Nowhere Today |
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 |
