On Down The Line

Tryin' to make a livin, that's the bottom line And it ain't easy tryin' to stretch a nickel into a dime Sweatin' for the Dollar, workin' for the man Half goes to the landlord, Lord and half to Uncle Sam I 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 traction Just doin' the best I can, just tryin' to make a stand Laughin' and cryin', livin' and dyin' on down the line I'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 too Only love can save me, so darlin' don't be late If I don't get your lovin' soon, I swear I'm gonna die today I 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 traction Just doin' the best I can, just tryin' to make a stand Laughin' and cryin', livin' and dyin' on down the line If I were a rich girl, it wouldn't be the same I'd buy me a Cadillac and then I'd change my name A poor girls dream inside me and you by my side We drive into the sunset, ride sweet baby ride I 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 traction Just doin' the best I can, just tryin' to make a stand Laughin' and cryin', livin' and dyin' on down the line On down the line On down the line On down the line On down the line On down the line On down the line On down the line
