Another sack of groceries, another tank of gas
These days a dollar it goes too quick, man it just don't last
Always something, can't catch a break
Ain't no saving for a rainy dayWell, I'm a paycheck man, working hired hand
I'd take this job and shove it but I just can't
Gettin' up out of bed, keepin' them babies fed
Never gonna get aheadBut there ain't no quittin' doing all I can
I gotta make a livin', I'm a paycheck manBroke down back, hell just my luck
I tried to call in sick but the boss man says
Son, you better show up
So I bite my tongue and I check my pride
And I punch that clock y'all, that's just the life of aPaycheck man, working hired hand
I'd take this job and shove it but I just can't
Gettin' up out of bed, keepin' them babies fed
Never gonna get aheadBut there ain't no quittin' doing all I can
I gotta make a livin', I'm a paycheck manWell, folks like us are the heartbeat of this great land
Puttin' in more than we getting back
Workin' overtime for uncle SamWell, I'm a paycheck man, working hired hand
I'd take this job and shove it but I just can't, no I just can't
Gettin' up out of bed, keepin' them babies fed
Never gonna get aheadBut there ain't no quittin' doing all I can
I gotta make a livin', I'm a paycheck man
I'm a paycheck man
