lyrics

Times are gettin' tough now
Like they were years ago
Some say thing'll get better-
How they could I just don't know

Fightin' every day for nothing
There ain't nothin' that I can do
Gonna keep on working my ass off, Lord
I'm just trying to make it through.

Trying to make it best as I can
Try to make it through

Just trying to make it one day at a time
Try to make it through

Put in my hours down at the factory
and just hope for the best
Maybe if I'm lucky
it won't close like the rest

Well it won't surprise me
workin' at this dump
I'd be workin' down at the Amoco
if there's any gas left to pump

Well I'm tempted now and then
to make some money on the side
but I know when it all comes down
I ain't got nowhere to hide

It ain't the dealers that bother me
It's all the dirty pigs
And every one of the rats
Run and tell everything I did

My friends are gettin' busted
and they're all gettin' sent away
They were just trying to make a livin'
like I'm doin' right here today

Just trying to feed their families
Trying to love their wives
Friends shoulda watched out for the rats
watched their backs, watched out for the knife

And I would be just like 'em
but I just can't take that chance
'Cause I know everything I've made-
There ain't no way in hell it's gonna last

So I'm livin' hand-in-mouth now
Nothin' that I can do
Gonna keep on workin' my ass off, Lord
I'm just trying to make it through.

Trying to make it best as I can
Try to make it through

One more year, one more day

I'm just trying to make it best as I can
Try to make it through.
