Song Lyrics

Toss a little bone to the working man

Dear uncle Sam you got a lot to do
But I just want to have a little talk with you
You probably don't remember even who I am
But I build your cars and I till your land

While you're busy giving out all that cash
While your politicians talk all that trash
While you're busy cleaning up your own mess
Maybe you could honor my small request

Take off the tax on a cold six pack
Add another day to make the weekend last
Get your head out uncle Sam, somebody needs a hand
Toss a little bone to the working man
Toss a little bone to the working man

Make it a law that we all get a raise
And prices go a little lower every day
Where pretty women can't judge a man by his car
And if you keep your nose clean then you'll always go far

I build your bridges and I carry your loads
I move the big rigs over your roads
Hate to spend my money like I got it to burn
Seems like I ought to get a little return

Take off the tax on a cold six pack
Add another day to make the weekend last
Get your head out uncle Sam, somebody needs a hand
Toss a little bone to the working man
Toss a little bone to the working man
Toss a little bone to the working man

Take off the tax on a cold six pack
Add another day to make the weekend last
Get your head out uncle Sam, somebody needs a hand
Toss a little bone to the working man
Get your head out uncle Sam, somebody needs a hand
Toss a little bone to the working man
Toss a little bone to the working man
Toss a little bone to the working man
...
