Bruce Springsteen - The Big Payback Lyrics
I bought a scooter and I rented a shackOut in the sun, by the railroad trackI got a job and Im a-breakin my backWorkin and workin for the big paybackI keep a puttin and a puttin outI keep a sweatin like a hog and allI work so long that Im a losin trackI work so long that Im a losin trackWaitin, waitin on the big paybackWell, its a wham, bam, thank you maam, God damn, ring out samI took on that train rumblin down this trackThey got your neck in the noose, youre draggin long in backChasin and chasin the big paybackOh what my foreman does well I dont knowHe just throws me a shovel and yells go, bobby, goOh well-a all day long hes just a busy wise crackWhile Im sweatin and sweatin the big paybackWell, its a wham, bam, thank you maam, God damn, ring out samI took on that train rumblin down the trackThey got your neck in the noose, your hands are tied up in backAnd youre a-workin and workin for the big paybackI quit that job, and mister I aint goin backGot me a knife and shes a long and badIll tell you how I make the peace with that manDown in the alley of the big paybackI go a wham, bam, thank you maam, God damn, cmon manYoure a goin to that train rumblin down this trackI got your neck in the noose and I dont give a damn, jackIm on that long lost highway of the big paybackIm on that long lost highway of the big paybackIm on that long lost highway of the big payback
