Workin' Man Lyrics - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Sittin alone in the dark 

Wastin my time in a park 

Cause Ive got nowhere to go 

Had me a job 'til the market fell out 

Tried hard to borrow 

But there was no help 

Now, Ive got nowhere to go 

I need a job 

For these two hands 

Im a workin man 

With nowhere to go 

One last look at my land 

Auctioneer with his gavel in hand 

And he says, its got to go

Worked this piece all my life 

It broke my heart 

And it took my wife 

Now, Ive got nothing to show 

I need a job 

For these two hands 

Im 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 aint my land 

Im a workin man 

With nowhere to go 

I was born to the sunrise 

Breaking back all day 

Now, Ive got something to say 

Photos 

I am broke but not broken 

And I am not alone 

'Cause theres a lot of folks 

With nowhere to go 

Are they ever gonna understand? 

You cant leave a workin man 

With nowhere to go 

Are they ever gonna understand? 

You cant leave a workin man 

Nowhere to go 

Nowhere to go 

Nowhere to go 

Nowhere to go
