Sittin' alone in the dark Wastin' my time in the barn, 'Cause I've got, nowhere to go Had me a job 'til the market fell out Tried hard to borrow but there was no help Now I've got, nowhere to go I need a job for these two hands I'm a workin' man, with nowhere to go One last look at the land Auctioneer with his gabble in his hand He said he's got to go Worked this piece all of my life Broke my heart then took my wife Now I've got, nothin' to show I need a job for these two hands I'm a workin' man With nowhere to go Wandered aimless in the city With my dirty work boots and old straw hat in hand Singin' a song about Woody Guthrie This land is your land, it ain't my land I'm a workin' man, with nowhere to go I was born to the sunrise Breakin' back all day Now I've got, somethin' to say I am broke but not broken I am not alone There's a lot a folks, with nowhere to go Are they ever gonna understand Can't leave a workin' man With nowhere to go Are they ever gonna understand You can't leave a workin' man With nowhere to go
