WORKIN' MAN'S DOLLAR
(C) 2009 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 DO THAN TAKE A HANDOUT
THIS WORKIN' MANS DOLLAR DON'T SPEND LIKE IT DID
TO PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE OR CLOTHES ON MY KIDS

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(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
KEEP TRYIN TO SQUEEZE OUT A LIFE ON A WORKIN' MAN'S DOLLAR
LORD, PLEASE HELP ME TO LIVE ON A WORKIN MAN'S DOLLAR
A WORKIN MAN'S DOLLAR
