If I could only find a job
to know that I'd bring back
baby's smile again
And make her feel quite proud
to be my wife
But for every job there's ten good men,
they only want to work again
And they're sick and tired
of just barely getting by
Well I've got to find a job today,
cause I got all those bills to pay
Sometimes a drink to keep
my headaches in
You know,
standing in some welfare line
Ain't ever been no way of mine
I've got my pride,
but I've got to feed the kids
But sometimes I think those better days
ain't ever gonna look my way
Seems the more I wait,
the more I waste my time
All the weeks turn into years so fast
Found out living in my past
is the only way to keep my hopes alive.
Well I've got to find a job somehow,
I know what it feels like now
to face the day that put me on the skin.
Well I'll draw my unemployment check,
that keeps the landlord off my back.
I've got my pride,
but I've got to feed the kids.
You know,
standing in some welfare line
ain't never been no way of mine
I've got my pride,
but I've got to feed the kids
