Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Workin’ Man Lyrics

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 peice 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 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 Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Lyrics Workin’ Man Lyrics
