[Verse 1]
D For years I've been busting my rear G D To make a living but it ain't made D For years I've been trying to pay off my bills A But they ain't paid D D7 I owe every dime I make, every soul I know G The higher up I reach the further down I go D G And this old broken back of mine is all I've got to show, D A D and anyway a working man can't get nowhere today
[Chorus]
D Lord, a working man can't get nowhere today D A A working man ain't got no time to play D G Today I work my fanny off and leave it lay D A D A working man can't get nowhere today
[Verse 2]
D I pay my income tax and the government gives back G D What I got coming, Lord, but it ain't much D I paid my child support 'cause I'm a law abiing sort A And easy touch, D D7 yet I starve myself to death Trying to keep my family fed, G I kEep my budget tight Trying to keep myself ahead D G but I'd still be deep in debt the day that I fall dead, D A D that's why I say lord, a working man can't get nowhere today
[Chorus]
D Lord, a working man can't get nowhere today D A A working man ain't got no time to play D G Today I work my fanny off and leave it lay D A D A working man can't get nowhere today
[Outro]
D A D A working man can't get nowhere today
