Chords & Lyrics
A
Tryin' to make a livin' that's the bottom line
It ain't easy tryin' to stretch a nickel into a dime
Sweatin' for the dollar workin' for the man
half goes to the landlord, Lord and half to Uncle Sam
*Chorus*
D
I can't get no consilation
I don't get no paid vacation
A
I can't get no satisfaction
and my tractor don't get no traction
D
Just doing the best I can
Tryin' to make a stand
A E A
Laughin' and cryin, livin' and dying on down the line
I'll leave my soul to Jesus
I give my heart to you
If you want the rest of me
well, darlin' you can have that too
Only love can save me
So darlin' don't be late
If I don't get your lovin' soon
I swear I'm gonna die today
*Chorus*
I can't get no consilation
I don't get no paid vacation
I can't get no satisfaction
and my tractor don't get no traction
Just doing the best I can
Tryin' to make a stand
Laughin' and cryin, livin' and dying on down the line
If I were a rich girl it wouldn't be the same
I'd buy me a cadillac and then I'd change my name
A poor girl's dream inside me and you by my side
drive into the sunset ride sweet baby, ride
*Chorus*
I can't get no consilation
I don't get no paid vacation
I can't get no satisfaction
and my tractor don't get no traction
Just doing the best I can
Tryin' to make a stand
Laughin' and cryin, livin' and dying on down the line
on down the line
on down the line
on down the line
on down the line
