Lord Have Mercy On The Working Man

In the style of

Travis Tritt

Lyrics

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
and 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 dancin'
while the poor man
pays the band
oh they're billin' me
for killin' me
lord have mercy
on the workin' man

uncle sam's got
his hands
in my pockets
and he helps himself
each time
he needs a dime

well them politicians
treat me
like a mushroom
'cause they
feed me bull
and keep me
in the blind

now won't you tell me
if you can
'cause life's so hard
to understand

why's the rich man
busy dancin'
while the poor man
pays the band
oh they're billin' me
for killin' me
lord have mercy
on the workin' man

hey saint peter
look down
for a minute
and see
this little man
about to drown

well there's
quicksand
all around
and man i'm in it
please help me up
lord 'cause
i'm goin' down

won't you tell me
if you can
'cause life's so hard
to understand

why's the rich man
busy dancin'
while the poor man
pays the band
oh they're billin' me
for killin' me
lord have mercy
on the workin' man

won't you tell me
if you can
'cause life's so hard
to understand

why's the fat man
busy dancin'
while the thin man
pays the band
oh they're billin' me
for killin' me
lord have mercy
on the workin' man

please lord
have mercy
on the workin' man
please lord
have mercy
on the workin' man
