On Down the Line

(Kostas) Tryin' to make a livin That's the bottom line It ain't easy tryin' to stretch A nickle into a dime Sweatin' for the dollar Workin' for the man Half goes to the Landlord, Lord And half to Uncle Sam I can't get no consolation I don't get no paid vacation I can't get no satisfaction And my tractor don't get no traction Just doin' the best I can Tryin' to make a stand Laughin' and cryin' Livin' and dyin' on down the line I'll leave my soul to Jesus I'll give my heart to you And if you want the rest of me Well, darlin you can have that too Only love can save me So darlin don't be late If I don't get your lovin soon I swear I'm gonna die today I can't get no consolation I don't get no paid vacation I can't get no satisfaction And my tractor don't get no traction Just doin' the best I can Just tryin' to make a stand Laughin' and cryin' Livin' and dyin' on down the line If I were a rich girl It wouldn't be the same I'd buy me a cadilac And then I'd change my name A poor girls dream inside me And you by my side We drive into the sunset Ride sweet baby ride I can't get no consolation I don't get no paid vacation I can't get no satisfaction And my tractor don't get no traction Just doin' the best I can Tryin' to make a stand Laughin' and cryin' Livin' and dyin' on down the line On down the line On down the line On down the line
