Bruce Springsteen - The Big Payback lyrics
[Bruce Springsteen - The Big Payback lyrics]
I bought a scooter and I rented a shack
Out in the sun, by the railroad track
I got a job and I'm a-breakin' my back
Workin' and workin' for the big payback
I keep a puttin' and a puttin' out
I keep a sweatin' like all get out
I work so long that i"m a losin' track
Waitin', waitin' on the big payback
Well, it's a wham, bam, thank
You ma'am, god damn, look out Sam
It's a gone dead train
Rumblin' down this track
They got your neck in the noose
You're draggin' long in back
Chasin' and chasin' the big payback
Oh what my foreman does well I don't know
He just throws me a shovel
And yells "Go, Bobby, go"
Oh well - a all day long
He's just a diddy wack wack
While I'm sweatin' and sweatin'
The big payback
Well, it's a wham, bam, thank
You ma'am, god damn, look out Sam
It's a gone dead train
Rumblin' down this track
They got your neck in the noose
You're hands are tied up in back
Chasin' and chasin' the big payback
I quit that job
And Mister I ain't goin' back
Got me a knife and she's a long and black
I'll tell you how I make
My piece at night Mac
Down in the alley of the big payback
I go a wham, bam, thank you ma'am, god damn
C'mon man you're a gone dead train
Rumblin' down this track
I got your neck in the noose
And I don't give a damn, jack
I'm on that long lost highway
Of the big payback
I'm on that long lost highway
Of the big payback
Out in the sun, by the railroad track
I got a job and I'm a-breakin' my back
Workin' and workin' for the big payback
I keep a puttin' and a puttin' out
I keep a sweatin' like all get out
I work so long that i"m a losin' track
Waitin', waitin' on the big payback
Well, it's a wham, bam, thank
You ma'am, god damn, look out Sam
It's a gone dead train
Rumblin' down this track
They got your neck in the noose
You're draggin' long in back
Chasin' and chasin' the big payback
Oh what my foreman does well I don't know
He just throws me a shovel
And yells "Go, Bobby, go"
Oh well - a all day long
He's just a diddy wack wack
While I'm sweatin' and sweatin'
The big payback
Well, it's a wham, bam, thank
You ma'am, god damn, look out Sam
It's a gone dead train
Rumblin' down this track
They got your neck in the noose
You're hands are tied up in back
Chasin' and chasin' the big payback
I quit that job
And Mister I ain't goin' back
Got me a knife and she's a long and black
I'll tell you how I make
My piece at night Mac
Down in the alley of the big payback
I go a wham, bam, thank you ma'am, god damn
C'mon man you're a gone dead train
Rumblin' down this track
I got your neck in the noose
And I don't give a damn, jack
I'm on that long lost highway
Of the big payback
I'm on that long lost highway
Of the big payback
