Lyrics for Song: On Down the Line
Lyrics for Album: Icon [2011]
(Kostas)
Tryin' to make a livin', that's the bottom line
It ain't easy trying to stretch a nickel 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, just tryin' to make a stand
Laughing and crying, living and dyin' on down the line.
I'll leave my soul to Jesus, I give my heart to you
If you want the rest of me, well darlin', you can have that too
Only love can save me so darlin' don't delay
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
Laughing and crying, living and dyin' on down the line.
--- Instrumental ---
If I were a rich girl it wouldn't be the same
I'd buy me a Cadillac and then I'd change my name
A poor girl's 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, just tryin' to make a stand
Laughing and crying, living and dyin' on down the line
On down the line, on down the line.
On down the line, on down the line...
