[Verse 1]
Another sack of groceries
Another tank of gas
These days a dollar it goes to quick
Man, it just don't last
Always something, can't catch a break
Ain't no saving for a rainy day

[Chorus]
I'm a paycheck man
Working hired hand
I'd take this job and shove it but i just can't
Getting up out of bed
Keeping them babies fed
Never gonna get ahead
But there ain't no quitting doing all i can
I gotta make a living, I'm a paycheck man

[Verse 2]
Broke-down back, hell just my luck
I tried to call in sick but the boss man says
"Son, you better show up."
So I bite my tongue and I check my pride
And I punch that clock, ya'll, that's just the life

[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Well, folks like us are the heartbeat of this great land
Putting in more than we getting back
Working overtime for uncle Sam

[Chorus]
