Life of a Workin' Man

6 a.m., and I'm up again Got my mind on a good weekend It ain't here today, so off I go Got more bills than my cheque will pay A hundred short, and it's due today That Hollywood, TV man He says he understands Don't tell me that you understand What it's like and who I am If you ain't spent your day Workin' hard for half your pay Don't tell me 'bout the workin' class 'Til you're the one that busts your ass When all you got is your pride and your two hands You can't tell me 'bout the life of a workin' man Looks like the tags are out on this ol', beat-up truck It's low on gas, that's just my luck Seems like when it rains, it always pours You won't hear me cry and moan 'Bout the hand I'm dealt, the cards I hold That politician, D.C. man He says he understands Don't tell me that you understand What it's like and who I am If you ain't spent your day Workin' hard for half your pay Don't tell me 'bout the workin' class 'Til you're the one that busts your ass When all you got is your pride and your two hands You can't tell me 'bout the life of a workin' man I love this place called USA, and I work hard for what I have So don't tell me that you understand What it's like and who I am If you ain't spent your day Workin' hard for half your pay Don't tell me 'bout the workin' class 'Til you're the one that busts your ass When all you got is your pride and your two hands You can't tell me 'bout the life of a workin' man When all you got is your pride and your two hands You can't tell me 'bout the life of a workin' man
