Hey Mister (I Need The Job)

(album: Long Time Comin' - 1992)

Hey Mister, I'm a working man
And the sign says that you need one
I ain't too proud to say
There's nothing I won't do
Hey Mister, I need this job
'Cause there's a lady waiting
I know you know what I mean
If you ever had someone depend on you

Hey Mister, I can work all day
I don't care about the weather
Just take a look at these hands
I'm as strong as you
Hey Mister, I need this job
'Cause I told her that I'd get one
I know you know what I mean
If you ever had someone depend on you

Wanna build her a mountain
Starting with a grain of sand
Wanna build us a castle
In the middle of the Promised Land
Got a little one coming, he's gonna look up to me
We're gonna have a family

Hey Mister, I know I'm young
But there's a man inside me
If you look back at your life
You had to start somewhere too
Hey Mister, I need this job
'Cause I told her that I'd get one
I know you know what I mean
If you ever had someone love you

Wanna build her a mountain
Starting with a grain of sand
Wanna build us a castle
In the middle of the Promised Land
Got a little one coming, he's gonna look up to me
We're gonna have a family

Hey Mister, I need this job
'Cause there's a lady waiting
I know you know what I mean
If you ever had someone depend on you
I know you know what I mean
If you ever had someone love you
