Lower On The Hog şarkı sözleri

I've been workin' at a sawmill earnin' every dime I make Looking at my check stub cussin' 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 eatin' 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 and gone what's goin' on There's a lot less scrap to throw out to the dog I'm making more now and eatin' lower on the hog [ guitar - steel ] There's people standing with their heads out formin' a welfare line Savin' their back while I'm out breakin' mine I ain't worried bout the federal budget or the LA city smog I'm working overtime and eatin' lower on the hog But if I die in the morning... There's a lot less scrap to throw out to the dog I'm making more now and eatin' lower on the hog
