Lord Have Mercy On The Working Man Lyrics - Travis Tritt

All around I hear the sound of money 

But I ain't got a nickel to my name 

And everywhere I look I see temptation 

She stands on every corner and calls my name 

Now won't you tell me if you can 

'Cause life's so hard to understand 

Why's the rich man busy dancing 

While the poor man pays the band 

Oh, they're billing me for killing me 

Lord have mercy on the working man 

Uncle Sam's got his hands in my pockets 

And he helps himself each time he needs a dime 

Them politicians treat me like a mushroom 

'Cause they feed me bull and keep me in the blind

Lord have mercy on the working man 

Hey, St. Peter, look down for a minute 

And see this little man about to drown 

There's quicksand all around and man I'm in it 

Please help me up, Lord, 'cause I'm going down 

Now won't you tell me if you can 

'Cause life's so hard to understand 

Why's the rich man busy dancing 

While the poor man pays the band 

Oh, they're billing me for killing me 

Lord have mercy on the working man

Won't you tell me if you can 

'Cause life's so hard to understand 

Why's the fat man busy dancing 

While the thin man pays the band 

Oh, they're billing me for killing me 

Hey, Lord have mercy on the working man 

Please Lord have mercy on the working man 

Please Lord have mercy on the working man
