Lyrics

WORKIN’ THE BUCK
WORDS BY JANINA WILLIAMS
MUSIC BY PHIL ROBINS
VOL 1
TRACK 9

NOBODY KNOWS ABOUT WORKIN’ THE BUCK THE WAY THAT I DO (2X)
TWENTY YEARS AGO I MET THIS GUY NAME JOE
HE SAID HE KNOWS HOW I CAN MAKE SOME DOE
ALL I GOT TO DO IS SHAKE MY THANG
AND MAKE THE GUYS HOLLAR MY NAME

NOBODY KNOWS ABOUT WORKIN’ THE BUCK THE WAY THAT I DO (2X)
I SAID TO MYSELF I ONLY DO IT FOR A TIME
UNTIL I GET MYSELF A CAR TO GET AROUND
BUT TWENTY YEARS HAVE GONE BY
AND I’M STILL TRYING TO MAKE IT RIGHT
OUT ON THE STREET EVERY NIGHT
NOBODY KNOWS ABOUT WORKIN’ THE BUCK THE WAY THAT I DO (1X)

I WAS TRYING TO PAY MY BILLS
I WAS TRYING TO GO TO SCHOOL
TRYIN’ TO TAKE CARE OF MY KID
SOMETIMES I FELT LIKE A FOOL

(GUITAR SOLO)
NOBODY KNOWS ABOUT WORKIN’ THE BUCK THE WAY THAT I DO (1X)
YOU SAY IT CAN’T BE THAT HARD
BUT YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND
BORN WITH A SILVER SPOON
YOUR IN DEMAND

NOBODY KNOWS ABOUT WORKIN’ THE BUCK THE WAY THAT I DO (1X)
I DON’T KNOW HOW MUCH LONGER I’LL LAST
INSIDE I’M ALREADY DEAD
WHEN WILL THE REST COME TO PAST
NOBODY KNOWS

(GUITAR SOLO)
NOBODY KNOWS (2X)
WORKIN’ THE BUCK (8X)
