Well I'm just a Workin' Man's Dollar[00:00:12]

In the pocket of his old blue jeans[00:00:14]

I ain't like my Wall Street brother[00:00:17]

He's in a bank so shiny and clean[00:00:20]

Well I'm faded and I'm wrinkled[00:00:23]

Tattered and stained with sweat[00:00:26]

But I'm the 1st one called[00:00:28]

When Uncle Sam Needs a hand with the National Debt[00:00:30]

I've been wages for the farm hand[00:00:38]

For drivin' an old John Deere[00:00:41]

I've been laid on a bar in a tavern[00:00:44]

To buy a workin' man an ice-cold beer[00:00:46]

I've been tipped to a truck-stop waitress[00:00:49]

Taped where I was torn[00:00:52]

And in the hand of a child I was laid on a plate[00:00:55]

In a church on Sunday morn[00:00:58]

They say I'm the root of all evil[00:01:02]

I bring lust power and greed[00:01:05]

But this Workin' Man's Dollar only buys the things[00:01:07]

A workin' man really needs[00:01:12]

Well they say I'm worth about fifty-cents[00:01:25]

In this modern inflated age[00:01:27]

But don't tell that to the young man slavin'[00:01:31]

To make it on a minimum wage[00:01:33]

Or that single workin' mother[00:01:36]

She's been scapin' to make ends meet[00:01:38]

To make a house a home[00:01:41]

Keep food on the table[00:01:43]

And shoes on her baby's feet[00:01:44]

Well I know my days are numbered[00:01:51]

I'm gettin' threadbare and wearin' thin[00:01:54]

And they'll replace me with another[00:01:57]

But I'd do it all again[00:01:59]

Cuz I've seen this great big country[00:02:02]

Passed from hand to callused hand[00:02:05]

And I've got to say that I'm mighty proud[00:02:08]

That I belong to a workin' man[00:02:11]

They say I'm the root of all evil[00:02:15]

I bring lust power and greed[00:02:18]

But this Workin' Man's Dollar only buys the things[00:02:21]

A workin' man really needs[00:02:25]
