Well, I'm just a workin' man's dollar In the pocket of his old blue jeans I ain't like my Wall Street brother He's in a bank so shiny and cleanWell, I'm faded and I'm wrinkled Tattered and stained with sweat But I'm the first one called when Uncle Sam Needs a hand with the national debtI've been wages for the farm hand For drivin' an old John Deere I've been laid on a bar in a tavern To buy a workin' man an ice-cold beerI've been tipped to a truck-stop waitress Taped where I was torn And in the hand of a child I was laid on a plate In a church on Sunday mornWell, they say I'm the root of all evil I bring lust, power and greed But this workin' man's dollar only buys the things A workin' man really needsWell, they say I'm worth about fifty-cents In this modern inflated age But don't tell that to the young man slavin' To make it on a minimum wageOr that single workin' mother She's been scrapin' to make ends meet To make a house a home, keep food on the table And shoes on her baby's feetWell, I know my days are numbered I'm gettin' threadbare and wearin' thin And they'll replace me with another But I'd do it all again'Cause I've seen this great big country Passed from hand to callused hand And I've got to say that I'm mighty proud That I belong to the workin' manWell, they say I'm the root of all evil I bring lust, power and greed But this workin' man's dollar only buys the things A workin' man really needs
