Workin’ Man

Lyrics

I woke up this mornin', kissed my wife goodbye I pray to god that i'll make it home safe tonight It's a dangerous job but i take that risk I'll trade my blood and sweat just to feed my kids I've been working for the man since a tender age Now a rich politician wants to lower my wage Pour me a drink so i can understand These are the struggles of a working man I work outside in the pouring rain When it's cold as ice when i'm full of pain It don't matter what i feel inside As long as the job i'm working gets done on time The boss man says works getting slow Pack up your tools boys and head on home I pour another drink and try to understand These are the struggles of a working man You see i work construction I build things Do you understand how important that is to the world? I don't know if ya'll realize what kind of pressure that puts on a man like me I love my wife and i raise my son, best i can, better then some I just found out the other day i got another little one that'ts on the way I took a new job down at the factory, ya it don't pay much but at least we can eat I roll up a smoke and think a new plan? (can't really hear that) These are the struggles of a working man When down to the river just the other day Got down on my knees and began to pray I said lord please won't you understand The struggles of a working man
