The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Workin' Man (Nowhere to Go)

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 peice 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
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
With nowhere to go
