The Big Payback (Single B-side - 1982) Lyrics

I bought a scooter and I rented a shack Out in the sun, by the railroad track I got a job and I′m a-breakin' my back Workin′ and workin' for the big payback I keep a puttin' and a puttin′ out I keep a sweatin′ like a hog and all I work so long that I'm a losin′ track Waitin', waitin′ on the big payback Well, it's a wham, bam, thank you ma′am, god damn, ring out Sam I took on that train rumblin' down this track They got your neck in the noose, you're draggin′ long in back And you′re a-workin' and workin′ for the big payback Oh what my foreman does well I don't know He just throws me a shovel and yells "Go, Bobby, Go" Oh well-a all day long he′s just a busy wise crack While I'm sweatin′ and sweatin' the big payback Well, it's a wham, bam, thank you ma′am, god damn, ring out Sam I took on that train rumblin′ down this track They got your neck in the noose, your hands are tied up in back And you're a-workin′ and workin' for the big payback I quit that job, and Mister I ain′t goin' back Got me a knife and she′s a long and bad I'll tell you how I make the peace with that man Down in the alley of the big payback Well, it's a wham, bam, thank you ma′am, god damn, ring out Sam I took on that train rumblin′ down this track I got your neck in the noose and I don't give a damn, Jack I′m on that long-lost highway of the big payback I'm on that long-lost highway of the big payback I′m on that long-lost highway of the big payback
