Patty Loveless "On Down the Line" |
(Kostas) Tryin' to make a livin', that's the bottom line It ain't easy trying to stretch a nickel 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, just tryin' to make a stand Laughing and crying, living and dyin' on down the line. I'll leave my soul to Jesus, I give my heart to you If you want the rest of me, well darlin', you can have that too Only love can save me so darlin' don't delay 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 Laughing and crying, living and dyin' on down the line. --- Instrumental --- If I were a rich girl it wouldn't be the same I'd buy me a Cadillac and then I'd change my name A poor girl's 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, just tryin' to make a stand Laughing and crying, living and dyin' on down the line On down the line, on down the line. On down the line, on down the line... Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
