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 fanny 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 fanny off and leave it lay, a working man can't get nowhere today. a working man can't get nowhere today.
