I've had three jobs this year and that's a record for my kind   It seems like when they lay man off I'm always at ahead of the line   But that's alright I got a woman that'll stand by me   And there's lots of places we ain't seen   And there's always a job waitin' somewhere for me   But late at night that's when it hurts   As I hold her and tried to explain why I lost my last job   But she always comforts me with her kisses and say it's alright   You know I still love you Bob   Then she says honey I know you've tried so hard and you're givin' all you can give   But in my heart I know there's gotta be a better way to live   And why she stood by me in these past years God only knows   Cause there's been times when we hadn't had enough to eat   And too many nights I've felt her shiver with cold   But I've never heard she complain cause she knows I'm too proud to beg   And people had offered help but I can't take no charity   I've always stood on my own two legs   Well I'm a loser son of a gun why does this have to be   I want so to give her everything that she could ever need   But that's alright I got a woman that'll stand by me   And there's lots of places we ain't seen   And there's always a job waitin' somewhere for me   Now we've made it all right together I guess but so far our road's been all up hill   But every night oh Lord we pray please help us find a better way to live   And we know he will
