On Down The Line — текст песни (Patty Loveless)

Tryin` to make a livin
That`s the bottom line
It ain`t easy tryin` to stretch
A nickle into a dime
Sweatin` for the dollar
Workin` for the man
Half goes to the
Landlord, Lord
And half to Uncle Sam

I can`t get no consolation
I don`t get no paid vacation
I can`t get no satisfaction
And my tractor don`t get no traction
Just doin` the best I can
Tryin` to make a stand
Laughin` and cryin`
Livin` and dyin` on down the line

I`ll leave my soul to Jesus
I`ll give my heart to you
And if you want the rest of me
Well, darlin you can have that too
Only love can save me
So darlin don`t be late
If I don`t get your lovin soon
I swear I`m gonna die today

I can`t get no consolation
I don`t get no paid vacation
I can`t get no satisfaction
And my tractor don`t get no traction
Just doin` the best I can
Just tryin` to make a stand
Laughin` and cryin`
Livin` and dyin` on down the line

If I were a rich girl
It wouldn`t be the same
I`d buy me a cadilac
And then I`d change my name
A poor girls dream inside me
And you by my side
We drive into the sunset
Ride sweet baby ride

I can`t get no consolation
I don`t get no paid vacation
I can`t get no satisfaction
And my tractor don`t get no traction
Just doin` the best I can
Tryin` to make a stand
Laughin` and cryin`
Livin` and dyin` on down the line

On down the line
On down the line
On down the line
