Workin’ Man (Nowhere to Go) Songtext
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 piece 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 to say.
I am broke but not broken
And I am not alone
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
Nowhere to go
...
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 piece 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 to say.
I am broke but not broken
And I am not alone
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
Nowhere to go
