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 [Incomprehensible] 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 [Incomprehensible] 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 [Incomprehensible] leave it lay
A working man can't get nowhere today
A 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 [Incomprehensible] 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 [Incomprehensible] 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 [Incomprehensible] leave it lay A working man can't get nowhere today A working man can't get nowhere today Explain Request ×
