A Workin' Man Can't Get Nowhere Today
For Dyears I've been bustin my rear to make a Gliving but it aint Dmade
For Dyears I've been trying to pay off my bills but they aint Apaid
I Dowe every dime I make to D7every soul I know
The Ghigher up I reach the farther down I go
DThis old broken back of mine is all i've got to Gshow
and anyDway, a workin man cant Aget nowhere todDay
Lord the Dworkin man cant get nowhere today
A Dworkin man aint got no time to Aplay
TodDay I worked my fannie off and leave it Glay
A DWorkin man can't Aget no where toDday
I pay my income tax and the gov't gives back what I got comin, Lawd but it aint much
I pay my child support cause I'm a law a-bidin sort and an easy touch
Lord, I starve myself to death trying to keep my family fed
I keep my budget tight trying to get myself ahead
But I'm still knee deep in debt the day that I fall dead
Thats why I say, Lord the workin man cant get nowhere today
Chorus
