[Verse 1]
E
It's a big job just gettin' by with nine kids and a wifeBut, I been a workin' man dang near all my life
A E And I'll keep on workin’ long as my two hands are fit to use B I drink my beer at a tavern A E And sing a little bit of these workin’ man blues
[Verse 2]
E
I keep my nose on the grindstone, work hard every dayI might get a little tired on the weekend, after I draw my pay
A E Gotta' go back workin, come Monday morning I'm right back with the crew B I drink a little beer that evening A E Sing a little bit of these workin’ man blues
[Verse 3]
E
Sometimes I think about leaving', do a little bummin' aroundI wanna throw my bills out the window, catch a train to another town
A E I'll go back workin', I gotta buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes B I drink a little beer in a tavern A E Cry a little bit of these workin’ man blues
Here comes that workin' man
[Instrumental Verse]
[Verse 4]
E
Well hey, hey, the workin' man, workin' man like meI ain't never been on welfare, and that's one place I won't be
A E 'Cause I'll keep workin', long as my two hands are fit to use B I'll drink my beer at a tavern A E Sing a little bit of these workin’ man blues
This song's for the workin' man
