Another sack of groceries

Another tank of gas

These days a dollar it goes to quick

Man, it just don't last

Always something, can't catch a break

Ain't no saving for a rainy day

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 ahead

But there ain't no quittin' doing all i can

I gotta make a livin', I'm a paycheck man

Broke-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, ya'll, that's just the life

Well, folks like us are the heartbeat of this great land

Puttin' in more than we getting back

Workin' overtime for uncle sam

I'm a paycheck man
