He remembers the horse-drawn carriages that passed him on the street

And I remember when he bought our first color TV

A lot of things have changed since then, some bad and some good

Ah no matter how bad it seemed to get

We fought to see it through

He works with what that built his life

Workin' hands, he's a working man

And playing music seemed to fit me right

Workin' hands, I'm a workin' man

Remembering things is fun to do

Workin' wood and music too

Workin' hands remembers things of you

Yeah, leaving home and my first job, I learned to be the best

And getting paid for playing music were not like all your rest

Creating things with our hands, with the touch of our hearts

Ah, together we stand to keep it strong

You know we'll never part

He works with what that built his life

Workin' hands, he's a working man

And playing music seemed to fit me right

Workin' hands, I'm a working man

Remembering things is fun to do

Workin' wood and music too

Workin' hands remembers things of you

Yeah, to keep it strong is to keep it right

And love our family

To the working man with the working hands

Works for you and me

Yeah, he works with what that built his life

Workin' hands, he's a workin' man

And playing music seemed to fit me right

Workin' hands, I'm a workin' man

Yeah, he works with what that built his life

Workin' hands, he's a workin' man

And playing music seemed to fit me right

Workin' hands, I'm a workin' man

Yeah, I'm a workin' man

Oh, I love you Dad

Those workin' hands
