With the high price of gasoline
|
I need an ATM machine
|
To keep the money coming
|
To keep my motor running
|
Does a working man stand a fighting chance
|
Of even coming close to breaking even at the end of the day
|
Hear what I say
|
I've been breaking my back for an honest wage
|
But quick as I can make it
|
Somebody wants to take it away
|
|
If I could win the lottery
|
Brother I can guarantee
|
Uncle Sam would grab it
|
Even before I had it
|
Get my income and then some
|
Leaving me sitting a¢æ?round wondering where the money went
|
I never even spent
|
My piece of the pie gets smaller every day
|
Quick as I can make it
|
Somebody wants to take it away
|
|
[CHORUS:]
|
I pay a high price for barely getting by
|
I'm on thin ice and trying to let it slide
|
|
When the money's gone they're calling on the phone
|
I tell a¢æ?em I got nothing in the world but hell to pay
|
What else can I say
|
Everywhere I turn there's a hand in my face
|
Quick as I can make it
|
Somebody wants to take it away
|
|
[CHORUS:]
|
I pay a high price for barely getting by
|
I'm on thin ice trying to let it slide
|
|
Does a working man stand a fighting chance
|
Of even coming close to breaking even at the end of the day
|
In the USA
|
I've been breaking my back for an honest wage
|
Quick as I can make it
|
Somebody wants to take it away
|
|
I've been breaking my back since the break of day
|
Quick as I can make it
|
Somebody wants to take it away
|
