******************** WORKIN CHEAP *******************
written by Troy Seals and Max D. Barnes
performed by Waylon Jennings.
Verse 1:
Every since the day i was big enough to put my pants on by myself
You could find me somewhere with the radio turned on
Then one night i gave my heart to an old beat up guitar
It never left my arms till i was almost grown
Verse 2:
I had to try my hand as a workin man,tried to be my daddy s son
But my mind was packed and gone and headed south
Momma said i ll pray for you,then she said goodbye
To the only one out of seven that didn t work out
Chorus:
Now i m way down hear in dixie playing honky tonk music
Keepin some joint a jumpin every night of the week
Lord knows it s hard to keep a dance hall women happy
When you re drinkin a little too much and you re workin cheap
Verse 3:
Well i ain t done a thing i can brag about to anyone back home
Just another night club singer with a real good band
If a jealous woman don t kill me,and momma keeps on praying
Someday i might be more than what i am
Chorus.
When you re drinkin a little too much and you re workin cheap
