Workin' Man (Nowhere to Go)

Workin' Man (Nowhere To Go) (Album Version) - 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
