song lyrics  Ain t It A Shame lyrics

Hit with the bug to run,
you didn t go to college we can use you son
You look like the pride of your home town
But how can you hold out when your luck is down
Ain t it a shame, ain t it a shame,
ain t it a shame, ain t it a shame.


Because I m too tired to run around
Meeting people from the wrong side of town
Looking for a place to live, I ve got no money,
nothing to give, listen


All you gotta do is look around
for something that s new
Find a job that s stimulating,
that s easy and I m still waiting
Ain t it a shame, ain t it a shame,
ain t it a shame, ain t it a shame.


I ve stood in the line and done my time
With nothin to do all day
I ve stood in the line with all my friends
With nothin to say all day,
I ve stood in the line and done my time
With nothin to do all day
I ve stood in the line with all my friends
With nothin to say all day, nothin to say all day.


Got brains but got no drive
Money s cheap, the roads are wide
All the good positions go too fast
I need a job I know will last
I ve got a job for you, can you push a shovel can you swing that broom
Keep your head down and don t go slow
But don t forget to stop with the whistle.


Ain t it a shame.
