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. 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. --- Instrumental --- 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...
