Workin` Cheap Lyrics

Workin` Cheap lyrics

Every since the day, I was big enough to put my pants on by myself

You could find me somewhere with the radio turned on

Then one night I gave my heart to an old beat-up guitar

It never left my arms till I was almost grown



I had to try my hand as a workin' man tried to be my daddy's son

But my mind was packed and gone and headed south

Momma said, '€˜'I'll pray for you'', then she said, '€˜'Goodbye''

To the only one out of seven that didn't work out



Now, I'm way down hear in Dixie playing honky tonk music

Keepin' some joint a jumpin' every night of the week

Lord knows it's hard to keep a dance hall woman happy

When you're drinkin' a little too much and you're workin' cheap



Well, I ain't done a thing I can brag about to anyone back home

Just another night club singer with a real good band

If a jealous woman don't kill me and momma keeps on prayin'

Someday I might be more than what I am



Now, I'm way down hear in Dixie playing honky tonk music

Keepin' some joint a jumpin' every night of the week

Lord knows it's hard to keep a dance hall woman happy

When you're drinkin' a little too much and you're workin' cheap

When you're drinkin' a little too much and you're workin' cheap
