Working Man Lyrics by Maya De Vitry

2021

[Verse 1]
There's a river made of gold and silver in the hills
There's a ladder if we find it, but we likely never will
There's water at the bottom, it trickles down the rungs
Drippin' to the tune of just enough to pay the bills
[Chorus]
Money fills canyons in the pockets of a few
That's the way it flows in the red, white, and blue
While every mile of railroad, all across the land
Is a long life of labor for a working man
[Verse 2]
It would surely be a wonder for a man to build alone
All the rails and steel and dig the oil that he owns
But the riches of the world are carried all along
On the back of every man who works to the bone
[Chorus]
Money fills canyons in the pockets of a few
That's the way it flows in the red, white, and blue
While every mile of railroad, all across the land
Is a long life of labor for a working man
[Bridge]
As we try to make the mortgage, the bank gets the news
Of a check from the capitol, it's all theirs to use
Yes, it's always you and me and Uncle Sam pitchin' in
They just don't call 'em handouts when they're all wearin' suits
[Chorus]
Money fills canyons in the pockets of a few
That's the way it flows in the red, white, and blue
While every mile of railroad, all across the land
Is a long life of labor for a working man
