Joe Ely - I Keep Gettin' Paid The Same

Joe Ely

I Keep Gettin' Paid The Same

I'm a working
On the line
Six days at a time
With a shovel and a spade
I'm digging for the shade
But I keep getting paid the same
1)
Been working for a man and he likes my style
The more I sweat the more he smiles
The more I sweat the deeper I get
He's driving this poor boy wild

I can't live no good on what I get paid
I know trouble's just a poor man's claim to fame
But the prices keep rising every day
And I keep getting paid the same
2)
I get up every mornin' 'bout half past six
Drink a pot a' coffee just to load a ton of bricks
Long about noon, I'm thinkin' that soon
You're gonna work this poor boy sick.

I can't buy beans on what I get paid
I was cooking biscuits when the bill collector came
And the prices keep rising everyday
And I keep getting paid the same
3)
I lay down my hammer when the whistle sounds
I bury my shovel in the deep deep ground
I run to my home to see my honey comb
When that evening sun goes down

I can't live to good on what I get paid
My roof's got a hole and It's looking like rain
And the prices keep rising everyday
And I keep getting paid the same

Mirror lyrics:

And I keep getting paid the same
And the prices keep rising everyday
My roof's got a hole and It's looking like rain
I can't live to good on what I get paid

When that evening sun goes down
I run to my home to see my honey comb
I bury my shovel in the deep deep ground
I lay down my hammer when the whistle sounds
3)
And I keep getting paid the same
And the prices keep rising everyday
I was cooking biscuits when the bill collector came
I can't buy beans on what I get paid

You're gonna work this poor boy sick.
Long about noon, I'm thinkin' that soon
Drink a pot a' coffee just to load a ton of bricks
I get up every mornin' 'bout half past six
2)
And I keep getting paid the same
But the prices keep rising every day
I know trouble's just a poor man's claim to fame
I can't live no good on what I get paid

He's driving this poor boy wild
The more I sweat the deeper I get
The more I sweat the more he smiles
Been working for a man and he likes my style
1)
But I keep getting paid the same
I'm digging for the shade
With a shovel and a spade
Six days at a time
On the line
I'm a working
