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 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
