Paying my way


Well, you can't just get what you want
Without a little work a day
And you can't just stick out your hand,
No, it doesn't work that way.

It's gonna be a long one,
I'll be working all night long
It's gonna be a long one,
But I'm paying my way

And there's not much joy in the work
Unless your born to do it, they say.
And we gotta get down in the dirt now
If we wanna see some change.

It's gonna be a long one,
I'll be working all night long
It's gonna be a long one,
But I'm paying my way

And the heart is sliding backwards
On this long dark night of the soul,
And you're the only thing
That keeps me going on

It's gonna be a long one,
I'll be working my fingers to the bone
It's gonna be a long one,
But I'm paying my way

Well, there's not much change in the weather
On this long walk home to you in the rain
And there's not much left in the purse now
By the time the bills are paid

It's gonna be a long one,
I can't wait for that weekend to roll along
It's gonna be a long one,
But I'm paying my way

It's gonna be a long one,
I'm gonna take you out dancing all night long
It's gonna be a long one,
But I'm paying my way

Fair work for fair pay
Yeah, I'm paying my way

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
