Merle Haggard: A Working Man Can't Get Nowhere Today Lyrics
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…
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…
