Six Bucks A Day - 1978
Been ramblin' out Montana way
Tryin' to live on a cowpuncher's pay
Been changin' them dams in the new summer hay
Irrigating alfalfa for six bucks a day
I'll tell you my story
I'd be on my way
But the savings are slow to come
On six bucks a day
Out here in the fields while the water runs down
With the sun high above me and the sky all around
I'm dreamin' my dreams of the Canada line
And the places I'd go if the money was mine
I'll tell you my story
I'd be on my way
But the savings are slow to come
On six bucks a day
Come Saturday night you draw out some pay
Then you go into town just to throw it away
When the end of the month comes rolling your way
Well, you ain't got much left at six bucks a day
I'll tell you my story
I'd be on my way
But the savings are slow to come
On six bucks a day
If I drew out my tank, and I paid off my debts
I couldn't get to Great Falls on what I have left
But I've got me no choice when them diesel horns blow
Come a wind from the highway, I got to pick up and go
Yeah, money or none at all
They can't hold me this way
For my blankets are rolled and tied
And I'm leavin' today
Tryin' to live on a cowpuncher's pay
Been changin' them dams in the new summer hay
Irrigating alfalfa for six bucks a day
I'll tell you my story
I'd be on my way
But the savings are slow to come
On six bucks a day
Out here in the fields while the water runs down
With the sun high above me and the sky all around
I'm dreamin' my dreams of the Canada line
And the places I'd go if the money was mine
I'll tell you my story
I'd be on my way
But the savings are slow to come
On six bucks a day
Come Saturday night you draw out some pay
Then you go into town just to throw it away
When the end of the month comes rolling your way
Well, you ain't got much left at six bucks a day
I'll tell you my story
I'd be on my way
But the savings are slow to come
On six bucks a day
If I drew out my tank, and I paid off my debts
I couldn't get to Great Falls on what I have left
But I've got me no choice when them diesel horns blow
Come a wind from the highway, I got to pick up and go
Yeah, money or none at all
They can't hold me this way
For my blankets are rolled and tied
And I'm leavin' today
