Well, Ive been workin in the goddamn sun
With just for a dollar a day
Been workin for a dollar a day
Ive been workin for dollar a dayMan, I never understood why all my money
Goes down to man at the bank
And all he does is sit and think
About the money that Im gonna makeAnd all of my brothers, well, jumpin on planes
They been goin off fightin in wars
Been over on the desert shores
Fightin for my freedom and a little bit of oreMan, it sure does cost well whole a lotta money
When you live in the land of the free
Well, I think Ill go and plant me a seed
Grow a marijuana money treeWell, then Ima gonna head down to South Louisiana
With a guitar on my back
Corn bread in a gunny sack
Maybe Uncle Sam'll cut me some slackBeen diggin in the rock since five o'clock
And my calluses is cut to the bone
Well, the soles in my shoes is worn
Coz Ive been diggin in the rocks since dawnWell, Ive been workin in the goddamn sun
With just for a dollar a day
I've been workin for a dollar a day
Cause I need a little money to save
