The Big Payback
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 a hog and all I work so long that I'm a losin' track 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, ring out Sam I took on that 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 busy wise crack While I'm sweatin' and sweatin' the big payback Well, it's a wham, bam, thank you ma'am, god damn, ring out Sam I took on that train rumblin' down the track They got your neck in the noose, your hands are tied up in back And you're a-workin' and workin' for the big payback I quit that job, and Mister I ain't goin' back Got me a knife and she's a long and bad I'll tell you how I make the peace with that man 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 goin' to that 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 I'm on that long lost highway of the big payback Aus Songtexte Mania
