Workin' Man Blues

(album: When It All Goes South - 2015)

It's a big job just getting by with nine kids and a wife
I've been a working man damned near all my life
I'll keep working just as long as my two hands are fit to use
Well I might drink a little beer in the evening
Sing a little bit of these working man blues

Well I keep my nose to 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 working, yeah Monday morning I'm right back with my crew
Yes I am
Well I might drink a little beer come sundown
Sing a little bit of these working man blues
Aw little guitar

Sometimes I think about leaving, do a little bumming around
I'm gonna throw my bills out the window catch a train going to another town
But I'll be working, yeah Monday morning I'm right back with my crew Yes I am
Well I might drink too much come sundowm
Sing a little bit of these working man blues

Well Hey hey, the working man, is a working man like me
I ain't never been on welfare, that's one place I won't be
Brotha I'll be working, I gotta buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes
Well I might drink too much in the evening
Sing a little bit of these working man blues
Yeah I might smoke to much come sundown
Sing a little bit of these working man blues
