Lyrics

Minimum Wage
(Verse 1)
Worked a job in the city, sure didn’t pay
Had a wife and lost her, the lord took her away
Got me a young daughter, about ten years of age
Looks just like her mother, especially when she kneels down to pray

(Chorus)
Ive been working, just trying to get on by
Even though this job don’t pay, I still need to survive
That’s why I keep on working
On minimum wage

(Verse2)
Times are getting tough, sure gonna get rough
Just got a raise, but prices just went on up
Im in a difficult situation, don’t know what to do
Buy a gallon of gas, or some milk to get on through

Chorus)
Ive been working, just trying to get on by
Even though this job don’t pay, I still need to survive
That’s why I keep on working
On minimum wage

(Verse 3)
Just getting on by, and feelin torn down
Feel like theres no work, in this old disserted town
Daughter just graduated, getting ready to move on out
Shes off to college and she cant do without

Chorus)
Ive been working, just trying to get on by
Even though this job don’t pay, I still need to survive
That’s why I keep on working
On minimum wage
