Workin Man

I woke up this morning kissed my wife good bye I pray to god that I make it home safe tonight It's a dangerous job but I take that risk I trade my blood and sweat just to feed my kids Ive been workin' 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 workin' man I work outside in the pourin' rain When its cold as ice, when im full of pain It dont matter what i feel inside, long as the job that im workin' gets done on time The boss man says works gettin' slow Pack up your tools boys and head on home I pour another drink and try to understand These are the struggles of a workin' man (Spoken) See i work construction, i build things You understand how important that is to the world I dont know if ya'll realize the pressure that puts on a man like me I love my wife and I raise my son Best I can, better than some I just found out there other day I got another little one thats on the way I took a new job down at the factory Ya, dont pay much but atleast we can eat I roll up a smoke and i make a new plan These are the struggles of a workin' man Went down to the river just the other day Got down on my knees and began to pray I said lord please wont you understand The struggles of this workin' man These are the struggles of a workin' man
