Chris Ledoux Six Bucks A Day Lyrics

Six Bucks A Day Lyrics

I've been ramblin' out Montana way



Tryin' to live on a cow punchers pay



Been changin' them dams in the new summer hay



Irrigating alfalfa for six bucks a day



I'll tell you my story I'd be on my way



But the savings are slow to come on six bucks a day







Out here in the fields while the water runs down



With the sun high above me and the sky all around



I'm dreamin' my dreams of the Canada line



And the places I'd go if the money was mine



I'll tell you my story...







Come Saturday night well you draw out some pay



Then you go into town just to throw it away



And when the end of the month comes rolling your way



Well you ain't got much left on six bucks a day



I'll tell you my story...







Now if I drew out my time and I paid off my debts



I couldn't get to Great Falls on what I have left



But I've got me no choice when them diesel horns blow



Come a wind from the highway I got to pack up and go



Yeah money or none at all they can't hold me this way



For my blankets are rolled and tied and I'm leavin' today
