Workin' Man (Nowhere to Go)

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

Sitting alone in the dark

Wasting my time in a park

'Cause I've got nowhere to go

Had me a job till 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 working 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

It took my wife

Now I've got nothing to show

I need a job

For these two hands

I'm a working man

Nowhere to go

Wandered aimless in the city

With my dirt working 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 working man

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

I am not alone

'Cause there's a lot of folks

Nowhere to go

Are they ever gonna understand

You can't leave a working man

Nowhere to go

Are they ever gonna understand

You can't leave a working man

Nowhere to go

Nowhere to go

Nowhere to go

Nowhere to go

Nowhere to go

Nowhere to go

Nowhere to go
