lyrics
COUNTRY MAN
Punch your card in the factory on time
Manual labor on assembly sweat line
Forman’s breathing down the backs of everyone
Whistle blows, another hard day’s work is done
Country man, not from this country yeah
With empty hands, you gave them all you had
Country man, no need to be so sad
Country man, you did not bad
Catch a bus home, when you finish your shift
The kids better be there or they all get whipped
Living in the projects got to know what’s going down
Keeping one eye on your family, one eye all around
Country man, not from this country yeah
With empty hands, you gave them all you had
Country man, no need to be so sad
Country man, you did not bad
Do do doo, do do do doo, do do do, doo…
Can’t stop now when you lay your head
Mother starts praying, kids are sneaking out of bed
There’s a world they want to see
A life they want to live
All he can hope is that it’s better than his
All he can hope is that it’s better than his
Country man, not from this country yeah
With empty hands, you gave them all you had
Country man, no need to be so sad
Country man, you did not bad
Do do doo, do do do doo
Jibaro, jibaro campesino
La la la la la
Jibaro, jibaro campesino
Do do doo, do do do do doo
La la la la la
Do do do do do do do do do do do
