Well I didn't go to college I didn't have the money to try
I supported my sisters after my daddy died
I work two jobs and neither one takes a tie
I work hard you see But there's a little bit a' bum in me
I work so hard I work so hard you see
6 days a week hardly pays the rent and groceries
But once in awhile I go AWOL right and free
I take a little time- Cuz I got a little bum in me
I was out in the truck out on the dock in a sweat
Down in the mind scratchin' for what I could get
But now I'm holdin' a pool cue
There's a pitcher on the bar you bet
Baby when you got me
A little bit a bum is what you get
I work so hard I work so hard you see
6 days a week hardly pays the rent and groceries
But once in awhile I go AWOL right and free
I take a little time- Cuz I got a little bum in me
It's a shame to be a beggar- A shame to be homeless like me
Went 7-11 bought a ticket won the lottery
My vacations are Europe, Cuernavaca Monte Carlo Pelee
But I come back to the beer bars
Cuz I got a little bit a bum in me
He's got a little bum- Got a little bum you see
Got a little bum, living right the hell inside of me
Most of the time he's something you can't even see
But every now and then, that bum comes out of me
I work so hard I work so hard you see
6 days a week hardly pays the rent and groceries
But once in awhile I go AWOL right and free
I take a little time- Cuz I got a little bum in me
