[00:02.00]Chris Ledoux - Workin' Man's Dollar
[00:05.00]
[00:10.70]Well, I'm just a Workin' Man's Dollar
[00:13.80]In the pocket of his old blue jeans
[00:16.46]I ain't like my Wall Street brother
[00:19.17]He's in a bank so shiny and clean
[00:22.12]Well, I'm faded and I'm wrinkled
[00:24.75]Tattered and stained with sweat
[00:27.73]But I'm the 1st one called
[00:29.33]When Uncle Sam Needs a hand with the National Debt
[00:37.10]I've been wages for the farm hand
[00:40.28]For drivin' an old John Deere
[00:42.90]I've been laid on a bar in a tavern
[00:45.59]To buy a workin' man an ice-cold beer
[00:48.49]I've been tipped to a truck-stop waitress
[00:51.43]Taped where I was torn
[00:54.10]And in the hand of a child I was laid on a plate
[00:56.99]In a church on Sunday morn
[02:14.07][01:01.25]They say I'm the root of all evil
[02:17.46][01:04.03]I bring lust, power and greed
[02:20.18][01:06.79]But this Workin' Man's Dollar only buys the things
[02:24.71][01:11.12]A workin' man really needs
[01:23.50]Well, they say I'm worth about fifty-cents
[01:26.46]In this modern inflated age
[01:29.50]But don't tell that to the young man slavin'
[01:32.40]To make it on a minimum wage
[01:34.85]Or that single workin' mother
[01:37.30]She's been scapin' to make ends meet
[01:40.67]To make a house a home
[01:42.16]Keep food on the table
[01:43.64]And shoes on her baby's feet
[01:49.90]Well, I know my days are numbered
[01:53.28]I'm gettin' threadbare and wearin' thin
[01:55.93]And they'll replace me with another
[01:58.55]But I'd do it all again
[02:01.69]Cuz I've seen this great big country
[02:04.65]Passed from hand to callused hand
[02:07.32]And I've got to say that I'm mighty proud
[02:10.32]That I belong to a workin' man
