Tryin' to make a livin' it's harder every day
|
By the time I see a dollar just another bill to pay
|
I got a wife and family and the bills are pilin' high
|
These days it ain't easy for a working man to get by
|
|
I can't help but wonder what a man suppose to do
|
I got those hard breaking escalatin' high inflation blues
|
[ steel ]
|
By the time I get the payday the money's already gone
|
Someone's eatin' chicken all I git is the bones
|
My wife needs a new coat the kids need clothes to school
|
We're all out of grocery's and it's Tuesday afternoon
|
|
Well it could drive a man to drinkin' but I can't afford the booze
|
I got those hard breaking escalatin' high inflation blues
|
[ fiddle ]
|
The cost of livin' keeps goin' up the taxes ain't goin' down
|
I'm just treadin' water to tryin' not to drown
|
Mr Courter I know you're up there and I should could use a hen
|
So won't you please have mercy on a common working man
|
|
I just keep on tryin' doin' all that I can do
|
I got those hard breaking escalatin' high inflation blues (yodel)
