Paying My Way Lyrics

Well, you can't just get what you want
Without a little work today
And you can't just stick out your hand
No, it doesn't work that way
Yeah, it's gonna be a long one
I'll be workin' all night long
Oh, it's gonna be a long one
But I'm paying my way
And there's not much joy in the work
Unless you're born to do it, they say
And we gotta get down in the dirt now
If we wanna see some change
Oh, it's gonna be a long one
Yeah, I'll be workin' all night long
Yeah, it's gonna be a long one
But I'm paying my way
And the heart is sliding backward
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 been workin' my fingers to the bone
Yeah, it's gonna be a long one
But I'm paying my way
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
Oh, it's gonna be a long one
Can't wait for that weekend to roll along
Yeah, it's gonna be a long one
But I'm paying my way
Oh, it's gonna be a long one
Wanna take you out dancin' all night long
Oh, it's gonna be a long one
But I'm paying my way
Paying my way
I work for fair pay
Yeah, I'm paying my way
