Broke

Sixteen-hour days, overworked and underpaid Was just a way of life for my old man's old man If there's one thing I've learned What you make is what you earn And you stick it out without sticking out your hand Getting by on getting by, it ain't no joke We got a name for things 'round here that don't work Broke If we fell on hard times, oh, well, I'd spend my last dime Making sure I kept my family fed Yeah, but some old poor folks will choose To blow it all on booze And half the time it's that fool that ends up with half my cheque Too much month at the end of your money A day in the life of a man from the country Breaking your back, and working your knuckles to the bone, bone, bone We don't live off another man's dollar Just sweat and red dirt stained on a blue collar Our 9-to-5 is a 5 to 9 All day long Getting by on, getting by, it ain't no joke, no Yeah, we got a name for things round here that don't work Broke It ain't much of a life when you live that life for free Yeah, sitting 'round all-day, never sat quite right with me Too much month at the end of your money A day in the life of a man from the country Breaking your back, and working your knuckles to the bone, bone, bone Come on We don't live off another man's dollar Just sweat and red dirt stained on a blue collar Our 9-to-5 is a 5 to 9 All day long Getting by on, getting by, it ain't no joke, no We got a name for things 'round here that don't work Broke Broke
