Paying My Way

Paying My Way (自食其力) - Glen Hansard (格伦·汉塞德)

Well you can't just get what you want

Without a little work a day

And you can't just stick out your hand

No it doesn't work that way

It's gonna be a long one

I'll be working all night long

It's gonna be a long one

But I'm paying my way

And there's not much joy in the work

Unless your born to do it they say

And we gotta get down in the dirt now

If we wanna see some change

It's gonna be a long one

I'll be working all night long

It's gonna be a long one

But I'm paying my way

And the heart is sliding backwards

On this long dark night of the soul

And you're the only thing

That keeps me going on

It's gonna be a long one

I'll be working my fingers to the bone

It's gonna be a long one

But I'm paying my way

Paying my way

Well there's not much change in the weather

On this long walk home to you in the rain

And there's not much left in the purse now

By the time the bills are paid

It's gonna be a long one

I can't wait for that weekend to roll along

It's gonna be a long one

But I'm paying my way

It's gonna be a long one

I'm gonna take you out dancing all night long

It's gonna be a long one

But I'm paying my way

Paying my way

Fair work for fair pay

Yeah I'm paying my way
