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 abidng sort
And an 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 deep 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
