Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Workin' Man (Nowhere To Go) Lyrics
Sittin' alone in the dark
Wastin' my time in a park
'Cause I've got
Nowhere to go
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 my land
Auctioneer with his gavel in hand
Worked this piece all my life
It broke my heart and it took my wife
Now I've got nothing 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 dirt workin' boots
And my old straw hat in hand
Singing a song by 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
Breaking back all day
Now I've got
Something to say
I am broke but not broken
And I am not alone
'Cause there's a lot of folks
With nowhere to go
Are they ever gonna understand
You can't leave a workin' man
Nowhere to go
Are they ever gonna understand
You can't leave a workin' man
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to go

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Workin' Man (Nowhere To Go) Comments
love the nity grity drit band i wish country still souned like this i dont like new country
Sittin' alone in the dark
Wasting my time in the park
'Cause I got
Nowhere to go
Had me a job til the market fell out
Tried hard to borrow and there was no help
Now I got nowhere to go
I need a job for these two hands
I'm a workin' man with nowhere to go
One last look in the land
Auctioneer with his gavel in hand and he said
It's got to go
Worked this piece all my life
Broke my heart then took my wife
Now I got nothing to show
Need a job for these two hands
I'm a workin' man with nowhere to go
Wandered aimless in the city
With my dirt workboots and my old straw hat in hand
Singin' a song by woodie 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
Breaking back all day
Now I've got
Something to say
I am broke but not broken
I am not alone cause there's a lot of folks with nowhere to go
Are they ever gonna understand
You 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
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to go
Love them. Saw them years at the Valley Forge Music Fair ( Devon Pa.) and the Keswick Theater ( Glenside Pa. )
Saw these guys including Jimmy Ibbotson in Stavanger, Norway more than 30 years ago . What a fantastic live band. I love their music. They'll always be one of my favorite acts.
🔨 Music!
Best Damn song ever made, farmers made America, men who aren't afraid of hard work every Damn day
My first concert, I was 14 years old. 1980 at the Indiana State Fair. They opened for the Little River Band.
Awesome
