Workin’ Man Blues (2011)

Lyrics

It's a big job just gettin' by with nine kids and a wife Every day, I been a workin' man dang near all my life And I'll keep on workin' as long as my two hands are fit to use I might drink my beer this evening And then sing a little bit of these working man blues I keep my nose to the grindstone and I work hard every day I might get a little high on the weekends, after I draw my pay But I'll go back workin', I gotta buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes Well, I'll drink a little beer in a tavern And sing a little bit of these working man blues Hey hey, working man, the working man like me Never been on welfare and that's one place I'm not gonna be I'll be working long as my two hands are fit to use I will drink a little beer at a tavern And then sing a little bit of these working man blues Sometimes I think about leaving and doin' a little bummin' around Throw my bills out the window, catch a train to another town Go back to working and buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes Sing a little bit in a tavern Cry a little bit of these working man blues Hey hey, the working man, the working man like me Never been on welfare and that's one place I will not be I'll be working long as my two hands are fit to use I drink a little beer in the evening Sing a little bit of these working man blues
