A Workin’ Man Can’t Get Nowhere Today For years I’ve been bustin my rear to make a living but it aint made For years I’ve been trying to pay off my bills but they aint paid I owe every dime I make to every soul I know The higher up I reach the farther down I go This old broken back of mine is all i’ve got to show and anyway a workin man cant get nowhere today Lord the workin man cant get nowhere today A workin man aint got no time to play Today I worked my fannie off and leave it lay A Workin man can’t get no where today 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
