On Down the Line Lyrics

Tryin' to make a livin'
That's the bottom line
It ain't easy tryin' to stretch
A nickel into a dimeSweatin' for the dollar
Workin' for the man
Half goes to the landlord, Lord
And half to Uncle SamI 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 tractionJust doin' the best I can
Just tryin' to make a stand
Laughin' and cryin'
Livin' and dyin' on down the lineI'll leave my soul to Jesus
I'll give my heart to you
And if you want the rest of me
Well, darlin' you can have that tooOnly love can save me
So darlin' don't be late
If I don't get your lovin' soon

I swear I'm gonna die todayI 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 tractionJust doin' the best I can
Just tryin' to make a stand
Laughin' and cryin'
Livin' and dyin' on down the lineIf I were a rich girl
It wouldn't be the same
I'd buy me a Cadillac
And then I'd change my nameA poor girl's dream inside me
And you by my side
We drive into the sunset
Ride, sweet baby, rideI 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 tractionJust doin' the best I can
Just tryin' to make a stand
Laughin' and cryin'
Livin' and dyin' on down the lineOn down the line
On down the line
On down the line
