Workin' Man (Nowhere To Go)
Sittin' alone in the dark
Wasting my time in the park
'Cause I got
Nowhere to go
Had me a job til the market fell out
Tried hard to borrow and there was no help
Now I got nowhere to go
I need a job for these two hands
I'm a workin' man with nowhere to go
One last look in the land
Auctioneer with his gavel in hand and he said
It's got to go
Worked this piece all my life
Broke my heart then took my wife
Now I got nothing to show
Need a job for these two hands
I'm a workin' man with nowhere to go
Wandered aimless in the city
With my dirt workboots and my old straw hat in hand
Singin' a song by woodie 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 to say
I am broke but not broken
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 with nowhere to go
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to go
Wasting my time in the park
'Cause I got
Nowhere to go
Had me a job til the market fell out
Tried hard to borrow and there was no help
Now I got nowhere to go
I need a job for these two hands
I'm a workin' man with nowhere to go
One last look in the land
Auctioneer with his gavel in hand and he said
It's got to go
Worked this piece all my life
Broke my heart then took my wife
Now I got nothing to show
Need a job for these two hands
I'm a workin' man with nowhere to go
Wandered aimless in the city
With my dirt workboots and my old straw hat in hand
Singin' a song by woodie 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 to say
I am broke but not broken
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 with nowhere to go
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to go
