Lyrics
WORKIN' FOR A LIVIN AIN'T WORKIN' NO MORE
COPYRIGHT 2002 LARRY MANGUM & CHET GIBSON
1ST VERSE YOU CAN DRIVE A TRUCK, YOU CAN HAMMER A NAIL
YOU CAN PLOW 40 ACRES, YOU CAN LIFT THAT BALE
YOU MIGHT BE A PLUMBER OR AN ENGINEER
WORKIN 24X7 FOR A PILE OF BILLS
IT REALLY DON'T MATTER HOW YOU PAY THE STORE
(CAUSE) THIS WORKIN FOR A LIVIN AIN'T WORKIN NO MORE
CHORUS THIS WORKIN FOR A LIVIN AIN'T WORKIN NO MORE
I'M LIVIN FOR THE WEEKEND JUST TO PARTY AND ROAR
WE GOT A LOT A STUFF BUT WE'RE STILL LIVIN POOR
(CAUSE) THIS WORKIN FOR A LIVIN AIN'T WORKIN NO MORE
2nd VERSE I KEEP A PICTURE OF MY FAMILY IN MY TOOL BOX DRAWER
SO I CAN BE REMINDED WHAT I'M WORKIN FOR
I AIN'T GOT A CASTLE BUT I LIVE LIKE A KING
CAUSE MY BABY'S SOMETHIN SPECIAL , SHE'S MY DOUBLE WIDE QUEEN
SOMEDAY WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT, BUT FOR NOW IT'S FOR SURE
THIS WORKIN FOR A LIVIN AIN'T WORKIN NO MORE
REPEAT CHORUS
(OPTINAL BRIDGE) I GET PAID FRIDAY, AND ON MONDAY IT'S GONE
SO I'M HEADED FOR THE BANKER FOR A BRAND NEW LOAN
I KEEP MAKIN PAYMENTS BUT I JUST CAN'T SAVE
IT'S ALL GONNA SEND ME TO AN EARLY GRAVE
