The time clock just now struck 8 hours; the boss man just yelled overtime I've worked these bones through my fingers and still I don't have a dime
I just called my darling to cancel the big date that we made tonight
The boss man he caused me some trouble and caused me just to have a fight
I'm a working man one woman man, do anything for a friend Can't help myself for everybody else, something's gotta give
And If it don't break then goodness sake I'm gonna leave this town today
There's a better life to live, Yea I'm gonna leave this town today, working mans way
I just packed my things and I'm
leaving; this job ain't worth the sacrifice The boss man had
better start his grieving, by 6 o'clock I'll be out of
sight
And If it don't break then goodness sake I'm gonna leave this town today
There's a better life to live, Yea I'm gonna leave this town today, working man's way
And If it don't break then goodness sake I'm gonna leave this town today
There's a better
life to live, Yea I'm gonna leave this town today,
