[00:12.63] | Well, I'm just a Workin' Man's Dollar |
[00:14.94] | In the pocket of his old blue jeans |
[00:17.87] | I ain't like my Wall Street brother |
[00:20.37] | He's in a bank so shiny and clean |
[00:23.13] | Well, I'm faded and I'm wrinkled |
[00:26.25] | Tattered and stained with sweat |
[00:28.69] | But I'm the 1st one called |
[00:30.57] | When Uncle Sam Needs a hand with the National Debt |
[00:38.88] | I've been wages for the farm hand |
[00:41.62] | For drivin' an old John Deere |
[00:44.13] | I've been laid on a bar in a tavern |
[00:46.76] | To buy a workin' man an ice-cold beer |
[00:49.69] | I've been tipped to a truck-stop waitress |
[00:52.69] | Taped where I was torn |
[00:55.31] | And in the hand of a child I was laid on a plate |
[00:58.63] | In a church on Sunday morn |
[01:02.38] | They say I'm the root of all evil |
[01:05.13] | I bring lust, power and greed |
[01:07.82] | But this Workin' Man's Dollar only buys the things |
[01:12.82] | A workin' man really needs |
[01:25.57] | Well, they say I'm worth about fifty-cents |
[01:27.88] | In this modern inflated age |
[01:31.00] | But don't tell that to the young man slavin' |
[01:33.63] | To make it on a minimum wage |
[01:36.13] | Or that single workin' mother |
[01:38.81] | She's been scapin' to make ends meet |
[01:41.69] | To make a house a home |
[01:43.31] | Keep food on the table |
[01:44.81] | And shoes on her baby's feet |
[01:51.69] | Well, I know my days are numbered |
[01:54.44] | I'm gettin' threadbare and wearin' thin |
[01:57.19] | And they'll replace me with another |
[01:59.82] | But I'd do it all again |
[02:02.94] | Cuz I've seen this great big country |
[02:05.63] | Passed from hand to callused hand |
[02:08.50] | And I've got to say that I'm mighty proud |
[02:11.32] | That I belong to a workin' man |
[02:15.63] | They say I'm the root of all evil |
[02:18.32] | I bring lust, power and greed |
[02:21.06] | But this Workin' Man's Dollar only buys the things |
[02:25.75] | A workin' man really needs |
