Steve Wariner - Quick As I Can Make It lyrics

With the high price of gasoline I need an ATM machine To keep the money coming To keep my motor running Does a working man stand a fighting chance Of even coming close to breaking even at the end of the day Hear what I say I've been breaking my back for an honest wage But quick as I can make it Somebody wants to take it away If I could win the lottery Brother I can guarantee Uncle Sam would grab it Even before I had it Get my income and then some Leaving me sitting ‘round wondering where the money went I never even spent My piece of the pie gets smaller every day Quick as I can make it Somebody wants to take it away [CHORUS:] I pay a high price for barely getting by I'm on thin ice and trying to let it slide When the money's gone they're calling on the phone I tell ‘em I got nothing in the world but hell to pay What else can I say Everywhere I turn there's a hand in my face Quick as I can make it Somebody wants to take it away [CHORUS:] I pay a high price for barely getting by I'm on thin ice trying to let it slide Does a working man stand a fighting chance Of even coming close to breaking even at the end of the day In the USA I've been breaking my back for an honest wage Quick as I can make it Somebody wants to take it away I've been breaking my back since the break of day Quick as I can make it Somebody wants to take it away
