1040 Blues Lyrics - Robert Cray

Worried, you betcha 

Discouraged, I don't know 

Every time I see a 1040 

Out of my pocket it goes 

Ow, I hate taxes 

I work hard for my money 

Every April you take it all away 

Don't you know I work hard for my money 

Every day, people 

You take it all away from me 

Ow, ow, I hate taxes 

Taxes gonna break my back, I swear 

Don't you know I pay a lot more than my share? 

I hate taxes 

Can't have any fun anymore 

Gotta make plans for everything now 

Gotta plan for every thing I do, people 

Can't go out and have a real good time 

Now I've gotta worry about everything 

That my little money can buy 

Oh, ow, I hate taxes 

Taxes gonna break my back, I swear 

Don't you know I paid a lot more than my share? 

I hate taxes 

You know I'm thinkin' about movin' somewhere else 

But I can't because I love America too much 

Especially California, yeah 

I guess I'm gonna have to pay these taxes 

If I'm gonna live here, oh
