Somebody's Gotta Do It

(album: Hearts Don't Rust - 2022)

This side of the Mississippi
Doing things a little different than the big city
Clock running real slow don't mean nothing
Sun up to sun down some of us still trucking

Easy living means working hard
Days start and end at dark
Whether it's a corn field 6am
Or a honky tonk midnight, I'm in

Somebody's gotta punch that clock and pay that tab
And thank god the weekend's here
Somebody's gotta take that chance and ask her name
And buy her next round of beer
Yeah, if you wanna good time, we'll have one
There's more than one way to get the job done
Lay it all on the line, every card on the table
Lose it all or you get through it
But somebody's gotta do it

Might show up in some cover alls
Working hard on a girl in some cut offs
Tank top, tan lines, oughta be a crime
She got me out here putting in overtime
Bout to show her I can go all night

Somebody's gotta punch that clock and pay that tab
And thank god the weekend's here
Somebody's gotta take that chance and ask her name
And buy her next round of beer
Yeah, if you wanna good time, we'll have one
There's more than one way to get the job done
Lay it all on the line, every card on the table
Lose it all or you get through it, but somebody's gotta do it

Woah, somebody's gotta do it

This side of the Mississippi
Doing things little different than the big city
Clock running real slow don't mean nothing
Sun up to sun down some of us keep trucking

Somebody's gotta punch that clock and pay that tab
And thank god the weekend's here
Somebody's gotta take that chance and ask her name
And buy her next round of beer
Yeah, if you wanna good time, we'll have one
There's more than one way to get the job done
Lay it all on the line, every card on the table
Lose it all or you get through it
But somebody's gotta do it
Yeah, somebody's gotta do it
Oh, somebody's gotta do it
