Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Workin' Man (Nowhere To Go) Lyrics






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 piece 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
Nowhere to go

Are they ever gonna understand
You can't leave a workin' man
Nowhere to go

Nowhere to go
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to go

    Sittin' alone in the dark
    Wasting my time in the park
    'Cause I got
    Nowhere to go
    Had me a job til the market fell out
    Tried hard to borrow and there was no help
    Now I got nowhere to go
    I need a job for these two hands
    I'm a workin' man with nowhere to go
    One last look in the land
    Auctioneer with his gavel in hand and he said
    It's got to go
    Worked this piece all my life
    Broke my heart then took my wife
    Now I got nothing to show
    Need a job for these two hands
    I'm a workin' man with nowhere to go
    Wandered aimless in the city
    With my dirt workboots and my old straw hat in hand
    Singin' a song by woodie 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
    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
    Nowhere to go
    Nowhere to go
    Nowhere to go
