Working Man Can't Get Nowhere Today (Live)
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 abiing sort
And 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 dee 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...
