[Verse 1]
For years, I've been busting my rear to make a living
But it ain't made
For years, I've been trying to pay off my bills
But they ain't paid
I owe every dime I make, every soul I know
The higher up I reach, the farther 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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
I pay my income tax and the government gives back
What I got coming, Lord, but it ain't much
I pay my child support 'cause I'm a law-abiding sort
And an easy touch
Yet I starve myself to death trying to keep my family fed
I keep my budget tight trying to 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
For years, I've been busting my rear to make a living
But it ain't made
For years, I've been trying to pay off my bills
But they ain't paid
I owe every dime I make, every soul I know
The higher up I reach, the farther 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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
I pay my income tax and the government gives back
What I got coming, Lord, but it ain't much
I pay my child support 'cause I'm a law-abiding sort
And an easy touch
Yet I starve myself to death trying to keep my family fed
I keep my budget tight trying to 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
