I run a jenny on the back of my truck 
              G             C        G 
And I take my chances and I trust my luck 
        D                        G        C    G 
Well, I may work tomorrow, but I can't be sure 
           D                     C       D 
I'm just a common example of the working poor

I pushed a shovel on a building site 
                G               C         G 
And I'm already working when it breaks daylight

If I don't keep moving, I'll freeze bloody sure 
           D                     C       D 
I'm just a common example of the working poor
