Workin' Man (Nowhere to Go)

Workin' Man (Nowhere to Go) - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

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

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

Nowhere to go

Nowhere to go

Nowhere to go

Nowhere to go

Nowhere to go

Nowhere to go

Nowhere to go
