A working man ain't go no time to play
And this old broken back of mine is all I've got to show
Lord, a working man can't get nowhere today
The day that I fall dead, that's why I say
A working man can't get nowhere today
The higher up I reach, the further down I go
Oh, every dime I make, every soul I know
A working man can't get nowhere today
What I got coming, lord, it ain't much
And anyway
Kinda get myself ahead
I pay my child support 'cause I'm a law abiding soul
Tonight I work my [Incomprehensible] leave it lay
But I'd still be deep in debt
And an easy touch [Incomprehensible] starve myself to death
I pay my income tax and the government gives back
For years I've been tryin' to pay off my bills
Kinda keep my family fit, I keep my budget tight
A working man ain't go no time to play
A working man can't get nowhere today
Today I work my [Incomprehensible] leave it lay
Lord, a working man can't get nowhere today
But they ain't paid
A working man can't get nowhere today
