On Down The Line Lyrics

Tryin' to make a livin' That's the bottom line 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 girl's 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 ...
