a working man can't get nowhere today - merle haggard lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
for years i’ve been busting my rear
to make a living but it ain’t made
for years i’ve been trying to pay off my bills
but they ain’t paid
i owe 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

[chorus]
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

[verse 2]
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
trying to keep my family fed, i keep my budget tight
trying to keep 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

[chorus]

[outro]
a working man can’t get nowhere today
