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 Oh, every dime I make, every soul 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 go no time to play Today I work my [Incomprehensible] 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, it ain't much I pay my child support 'cause I'm a law abiding soul And an easy touch [Incomprehensible] starve myself to death Kinda keep my family fit, I keep my budget tight Kinda get myself ahead But I'd still be deep in debt The day that I fall dead, that's why I say Lord, a working man can't get nowhere today A working man can't get nowhere today A working man ain't go no time to play Tonight I work my [Incomprehensible] leave it lay A working man can't get nowhere today A working man can't get nowhere today
