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 to say
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
with nowhere to go
Truly love classic hit song. Pure country music sound. Songs I grow up listen back 1970s on radio stations age 6 still love classic country music. One greatest hit song, Still enjoy more in my fifties now. Today, not much new music old classic hits songs. True roots of country music was back then old days were greatest memories my life.
Awesome song, I use listen on radio stations back then. Still greatest hit song today. Love classic hit song. I grow up 1970s and 1980s were hard time in Iowa. Less income back then think about use work at Red Owl store back 1982-1983 for 2.85 hour part time. Lots hard times. My mom father die he was hardest worker on farm and die in his sleep. Back 1973. I truly miss him and memories on his farm. Later my gramma die in her sleep in 1982 before I graduated in 1983. Why enjoy old classic hit song. Lots hard times back 1980s I still remember all them.
