Working real hard in the heart of the city*
Noon day sun feeling hot and sweaty
Trying to make my pay trying to make my monthly rent
Working real hard for the US dollar
Living real poor gonna make me holler
I don't wanna live in the street like some folks do.

I was raised up on the corner
In front of a grocery store
Shining shoes with the Daily News
For two pence on the floor
Given a chance I'd go back to the days of a simpler time
Cause this old world's gone crazy
And I'm about to lose my mind

Working real hard in the heart of the city
Noon day sun feeling hot and sweaty
Trying to make my pay trying to make my monthly rent
Working real hard for the US dollar
Living real poor gonna make me holler
I don't wanna live in the street like some folks do.

My brother drives delivery right down on Dolphin Street
Has a little house by the railroad track
Kinda small but it was neat
The police came and got him for robbing a liquor store
And even though he didn't do it
They got what they came for

Working real hard in the heart of the city
Noon day sun feeling hot and sweaty
Trying to make my pay trying to make my monthly rent
Working real hard for the US dollar
Living real poor gonna make me holler
I don't wanna live in the street like some folks do.

It's a poor man but life is bitter sweet
Doesn't wanna lose that good thing that he's got
But the same old government that pays you every week
Will come and take your home away and put you in the street

Working real hard in the heart of the city
Noon day sun feeling hot and sweaty
Trying to make my pay trying to make my monthly rent
Working real hard for the US dollar
Living real poor gonna make me holler
I don't wanna live in the street like some folks do.

Working real hard in the heart of the city*
Noon day sun feeling hot and sweaty
Trying to make my pay trying to make my monthly rent

  • Thank god they are still around creating vital music and not rotting away on the oldies circuit. This sort of music is badly needed in the 10's more so than it was in the 70's. Enjoy your antidote.

  • Outstanding. Great beat and it ROCKS

  • I can't explain how much I love this song...

  • they still know how to put out great music.

  • Great song sall them last night in South Bend In, they where great!!

  • Saw these guys at Merlefest. This was definitely my favourite song from their performance.

  • Wow Toms voice and the rest of the band sound better then ever, How can some one conserve a voice like that and sound the same after so many years?. Amazeing. Although Michael Mcdonald did a good job while with the band I always prefered toms voice in doing the songs. Thats classic Dobbies. Great Job guys...
