Paycheck Man

Another sack of groceries
Another tank of gas
These days a dollar it goes to quick
Man, it just don’t last
Always something, can’t catch a break
Ain’t no saving for a rainy day
I’m a paycheck man
Working hired hand
I’d take this job and shove it but i just can’t
Gettin' up out of bed
Keepin' them babies fed
Never gonna get ahead
But there ain’t no quittin' doing all i can
I gotta make a livin', I’m a paycheck man
Broke-down back, hell just my luck
I tried to call in sick but the boss man says
«Son, you better show up.»
So I bite my tongue and I check my pride
And I punch that clock, ya’ll, that’s just the life
Well, folks like us are the heartbeat of this great land
Puttin' in more than we getting back
Workin' overtime for uncle sam
I’m a paycheck man
