Lower On The Hog

Lower On The Hog

(альбом: 10 - 1988)

I've been working at a sawmill earning every dime I make
Looking at my check stub cussing what the tax man takes
My baby's depending on me oh Lord to bring the bacon home
But it's just salt pork we're eating lower on the hog

But if I die in the morning they can't say I didn't pay my way
With honest sweat and elbow grease and doing what the foremen say
But after we buy groceries, pay the rent and the telephone
I'm broke, it's gone, what's going on
There's a lot less scrap to throw out to the dog
I'm making more now and eating lower on the hog

There's people standing with their hands out forming a welfare line
Saving their back while I'm out breaking mine
I ain't worried about the federal budget or the L.A. city smog
I'm working overtime and eating lower on the hog

But if I die in the morning they can't say I didn't pay my way
With honest sweat and elbow grease and doing what the foremen say
But after we buy groceries, pay the rent and the telephone
I'm broke, it's gone, what's going on
There's a lot less scrap to throw out to the dog
I'm making more now and eating lower on the hog
There's a lot less scrap to throw out to the dog
I'm making more now and eating lower on the hog
