This country of mine
gone way out of line
It's got me scrounging

and falling far behind.

I just don't feel alright

I'm out of a job and a life
the days don't seem quite bright
I'm up all darn night.


Oh yes I know there's a long road
before me with no end in sight

Oh yes I will end this road
then every thing will be alright.


I don't have a car to get around
just a little place to stay
I'm out there scrounging day by day

wasting my life away.

It's hard to find a job and a good wife

and to have a nice life
but how can one have a nice life
with no work in sight.


Oh yes I know there's a long road
before me with no end in sight

Oh yes I will end this road
then every thing will be alright.


I want a home to be my own
with a car to drive around
and have some little kids of mine

playing in a back yard ground.

I need a family to settle down

and have freedom when we go to town
people will see us all dressed up
smiling around down town.


Oh yes I know there's a long road
before me with no end in sight

Oh yes I will end this road
then every thing will be alright.
