The Big Payback
I bought a scooter and I rented a shack
Out in the sun, by the railroad track
I got a job and Im a-breakin my back
Workin and workin for the big payback
I keep a puttin and a puttin out
I keep a sweatin like a hog and all
I work so long that Im a losin track
I work so long that Im a losin track
Waitin, waitin on the big payback
Well, its a wham, bam, thank you maam, God damn, ring out sam
I took on that train rumblin down this track
They got your neck in the noose, youre draggin long in back
Chasin and chasin the big payback
Oh what my foreman does well I dont know
He just throws me a shovel and yells go, bobby, go
Oh well-a all day long hes just a busy wise crack
While Im sweatin and sweatin the big payback
Well, its a wham, bam, thank you maam, God damn, ring out sam
I took on that train rumblin down the track
They got your neck in the noose, your hands are tied up in back
And youre a-workin and workin for the big payback
I quit that job, and mister I aint goin back
Got me a knife and shes a long and bad
Ill tell you how I make the peace with that man
Down in the alley of the big payback
I go a wham, bam, thank you maam, God damn, cmon man
Youre a goin to that train rumblin down this track
I got your neck in the noose and I dont give a damn, jack
Im on that long lost highway of the big payback
Im on that long lost highway of the big payback
Im on that long lost highway of the big payback
