Lyrics A Working Man Can't Get Nowhere Today - Merle Haggard
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...
