Lyrics

[Intro] One One One, two, three, four [Verse 1] Gray morning light spits through the shade Another day older, closer to the grave Closer to the grave and come the dawn I woke up this morning shackled and drawn [Chorus] Shackled and drawn, shackled and drawn Pick up the rock, son, carry it on I'm trudging through the dark in a world gone wrong I woke up this morning shackled and drawn Whoo! Ah! Ah! [Verse 2] I always loved the feel of sweat on my shirt Stand back, son, and let a man work Let a man work, is that so wrong? I woke up this morning shackled and drawn [Chorus] Shackled and drawn, shackled and drawn Pick up the rock, son, carry it on What's a poor boy to do in a world gone wrong? I woke up this morning shackled and drawn [Verse 3] Freedom, son, 's a dirty shirt The sun on my face and my shovel in the dirt A shovel in the dirt keeps the devil gone I woke up this morning shackled and drawn [Chorus] Shackled and drawn, shackled and drawn Pick up the rock, son, carry it on What's a poor boy to do but keep singing this song? I woke up this morning shackled and drawn Whoo! Whoo ee! Whhe heee! Whoo whoo whoo! [Verse 4] Gambling man rolls the dice, workingman pays the bill It's still fat and easy up on banker's hill Up on banker's hill, the party's going stronnnngg Down here below, we're shackled and drawn [Chorus] Shackled and drawn, shackled and drawn Pick up the rock, son, carry it on I'm trudging through the dark in a world gone wrong I woke up this morning shackled and drawn Shackled and drawn, shackled and drawn Pick up the rock, son, carry it on What's a poor boy to do but keep singing this song? I woke up this morning shackled and drawn Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! Whoo whoo whoo! Whoo hoo hahh! Whoo hoo! Whoo hoo! [Outro: Cindy Mizelle] I want everybody to stand up I want everybody to stand up and be counted tonight You know we got to pray together I want you to stand up I want everybody to stand up and be counted tonight
