I been workin' down in the delta Lord it don't feel so good When you're working out in the delta All you leave is blood and sweat and blood (in the delta)
woo woo woo woooo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo
(harmonica solo - Huey Lewis)
I've been working on that chain gang Breakin' rocks for the Man On that chain gang you get no pity That Man don't give a damn yaaa ya (in the delta)
Who says there has to be a moral Ya see my morale has taken a fall Who says I'm resting on my laurels Who says I've got anything in common with you at all You see as silly as it seems So tired of living out somebody else's dream So tired of living out somebody else's dream The more time I waste the more time I must redeem Get some time now to look at somebody else's dream Just ask Prince Lawrence of the Bahamas So tired of living out somebody else's dream Saw the flashy scene (fade out)
