Workin’ Man’s Dollar


(c) Collins/Reuter/Townley
 
(v1)
Things’ve been tough down at Billings and Smith
Last week they laid off two more from my shift
I bought 'em a beer and wished 'em the best
All the time wond'rin' if I would be next
Now, they're cuttin' my hours, So I'm bringing home less
This workin Man's Dollar's gettin' harder to stretch    
  
(chorus)      
But I get up each day and put my in time
And dream of doing more than just gettin by
I'm just tryin to squeeze out a life on a Workin' Man's Dollar
I ain't gonna beg and don't like to borrow
But I'd swallow my pride for my family tomorrow
It aint easy to live on a workin man's dollar

(v2)
My pickup's paid off but it needs tires and brakes
My old boots have new holes and the rent's a week late
And I figure that's just how it's gonna be now
But I'd rather make due then take a handout
This Workin' Mans Dollar don't spend like it did
To put food on the table or clothes on my kids

(chorus)
But I get up each day and put my in time
And dream of doing more than just gettin by
I'm just tryin to squeeze out a life on a Workin' Man's Dollar
I ain't gonna beg and don't like to borrow
But I'd swallow my pride for my family tomorrow
It aint easy to live on a workin man's dollar

(Bridge)
Lord, I know I don't talk to you much
But I'm letting you know I aint givin up
Yeah, times may be tough, but it aint all bad
Cause, Lord you're still list'nin and Lord, I still can...

(chorus)
Get up each day and put in my time
And dream of doing more than just gettin by
I keep tryin to squeeze out a life on a Workin' Man's Dollar
Lord, please help me live...on a workin man's dollar
A workin man's dollar
