Workin' Man - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Sittin' alone in the dark
Wastin' my time in a park
'Cause I've got nowhere to go
Had me a job til the market fell out
Tried hard to borrow but there was no help
Now I've got nowhere to go
I need a job for these two hands
I'm a workin' man
With nowhere to go
One last look at my land
Auctioneer with his gavel in hand
And he says
It's got to go
Worked this peice all my life
It broke my heart and it took my wife
Now I've got nothing to show
I need a job for these two hands
I'm a workin' man
With nowhere to go
Wandered aimless in the city
With my dirt workin' boots
And my old straw hat in hand
Singing a song by Woody Guthrie
This land is your land; it ain't my land
I'm a workin' man with nowhere to go
I was born to the sunrise
Breaking back all day
Now I've got something
I am broke but not broken
And I am not alone
Cause there's a lot of folks
With nowhere to go
Are they ever gonna understand
You can't leave a workin' man
With nowhere to go
Are they ever gonna understand
You can't leave a workin' man
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to go
