[Verse 1]
For Dyears I've been busting my rear
To make a Gliving but it ain't Dmade
For yDears I've been trying to pay off my bills
But they ain't pAaid
I Dowe every dime I make, D7every soul I know
The Ghigher up I reach the further down I go
And Dthis old broken back of mine is all I've got to Gshow,
and anyDway a working man can't Aget nowhere todDay
[Chorus]
Lord, a Dworking man can't get nowhere today
A Dworking man ain't got no time to Aplay
TodDay I work my fanny off and leave it Glay
A Dworking man can't Aget nowhere todDay
[Verse 2]
I Dpay my income tax and the government gives back
What I got Gcoming, Lord, but it ain't Dmuch
I Dpaid my child support 'cause I'm a law abiing sort
And easy Atouch,
yetD I starve myself to death D7Trying to keep my family fed,
I GkEep my budget tight Trying to keep myself ahead
but DI'd still be deep in debt the day that I fall Gdead,
that's why I Dsay lord, a working man can't Aget nowhere toDday
[Chorus]
Lord, a Dworking man can't get nowhere today
A Dworking man ain't got no time to Aplay
TodDay I work my fanny off and leave it Glay
A Dworking man can't Aget nowhere todDay
[Outro]
A Dworking man can't Aget nowhere toDday
