Working Man

Fifteen hours in the shop today Puttin' in time, honey, makin' my pay And when I get home, baby, and my bones are tired I just want to sip my drink by the fire Cold steel showers at the Thompson mill It's long hard hours makin' that Thomspon steel If I had my way I might be next to you But there's certain things a man's gotta do Baby, what you got to understand I'm nothin' if I ain't a workin' man Baby, what you got to understand I'm nothin' if I ain't a workin' man I know it's hard to take it sittin' down And harder still without your man around But what I'm doin' here, I do for you You give me everything I need 'Cause your love is true Punch my card in the morning light Once again in the darker night And all I can stand of this working life That's why working man needs a loving wife Baby, what you got to understand I'm nothin' if I ain't a workin' man Baby, what you got to understand I'm nothin' if I ain't a workin' man...
