Lord Have Mercy On The Working Man - Travis Tritt
All around I hear the sound of money
But I ain't got a nickel to my name
And everywhere I look I see temptation
She stands on every corner and calls my name
Won't you tell me if you can
Cause life's so hard to understand
Why's the rich man busy dancing
While the poor man pays the band
Oh they're billing me for killing me
Lord have mercy on the working man
Uncle Sam's got his hands in my pockets
And he helps himself each time he needs a dime
Them politicians treat me like a mushroom
Cause they feed me bull and keep me in the blind
Won't you tell me if you can
Cause life's so hard to understand
Why's the rich man busy dancing
While the poor man pays the band
Oh they're billing me for killing me
Lord have mercy on the working man
Hey, St. Peter look down for a minute
And see this little man about to drown
There's quicksand all around and man I'm in it
Please help me up Lord cause I'm going down
Won't you tell me if you can
Cause life's so hard to understand
Why's the rich man busy dancing
While the poor man pays the band
Oh they're billing me for killing me
Lord have mercy on the working man
Won't you tell me if you can
Cause life's so hard to understand
Why's the fat man busy dancing
While the thin man pays the band
Oh they're billing me for killing me
Lord have mercy on the working man
Please, Lord have mercy on the working man
Please, Lord have mercy on the working man
TOO MANY to name; but the king of them must be 'Working man blues" by Merle Haggard"...
OR; "40 Hour week" by Alabama???
This is all I can think of, I am slightly brain dead right now..lol
If you haven't heard Toby's "Tired"; i put a link to the video. I happen to think it is a pretty powerful rendition of the plight of the working man losing their soul to just trying to live.
Tired-Toby Keith
