Workin' Cheap Lyrics - Waylon Jennings

Every since the day I was big enough to put my pants on by myself 

You could find me somewhere with the radio turned on 

Then one night I gave my heart to an old beat-up guitar 

It never left my arms till I was almost grown 

I had to try my hand as a workin' man tried to be my daddy's son 

But my mind was packed and gone and headed south 

Momma said I'll pray for you then she said goodbye 

To the only one out of seven that didn't work out 

Now I'm way down hear in Dixie playing honky tonk music 

Keepin' some joint a jumpin' every night of the week 

Lord knows it's hard to keep a dance hall woman happy 

When you're drinkin' a little too much and you're workin' cheap 

(guitar) 

Well I ain't done a thing I can brag about to anyone back home 

Just another night club singer with a real good band 

If a jealous woman don't kill me and momma keeps on prayin' 

Someday I might be more than what I am
