Workin' Man Blues

It's a big job just gettin' by with nine kids and a wife But I've been a workin', man, dang near all my life But I'll keep on working 'long as my two hands are fit to use I'll drink my beer in a tavern Sing a little bit of these working man blues I keep my nose on the grindstone, I work hard every day I might get a little tired on the weekend, after I draw my pay But I'll go back workin' Come Monday morning, I'm right back with the crew I'll drink a little beer that evening Sing a little bit of these working man blues Sometimes I think about leaving, do a little bummin' around I wanna throw my bills out the window, catch a train to another town But I go back working, I gotta buy my kids a brand-new pair of shoes I drink a little beer in a tavern Cry a little bit of these working man blues Here comes that working man Well, hey, hey, the working man, the working man like me I ain't never been on welfare, that's one place I won't be Well, I'll be working 'long as my two hands are fit to use I drink my beer in a tavern Sing a little bit of these working man blues This song's for the working man
