Words and music Greg Fleming.

lyrics

I got loose,
I got through breaking the law.
I took the cure
but the cure don't work anymore
I'm ducking and divin'
through the streets where I was born

City of plenty
tough for many
Working Poor Country.

Back from the border
I got orders I can't fill
cattle to slaughter
and demons I can't kill
I'm ducking and divin'
through the streets where I was born

City of plenty,
tough for many -
Working Poor Country.

Kids goin' hungry
Daddy's gone and mama's high
cousin got lucky Audi in the drive
I'm ducking and divin'
through the streets where I was born

City of plenty,
tough for many -
Working Poor Country.
