merle haggard – a working man can’t get nowhere today lyrics
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 f-nny 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 f-nny off and leave it lay
a working man can’t get nowhere today.
a working man can’t get nowhere today…
