Workin' Man Blues

(앨범: Wild-Eyed Dream - 1987)

It's a big job just getting by with nine kids and a wife
But I've been a working man dang near all of my life
I'll keep on working long as these two hands are fit to use
I'll drink a little beer in a tavern
I'll sing a little bit of these working man blues

I'll keep my nose to the grindstone, work hard everyday
I might get a little tired on the weekend after I draw my pay
I'll go back working, come Monday morning, I'm right back with the crew
I'll drink a little beer that evening
I'll sing a little bit of these working man blues

Sometimes, I think about leaving, do a little bumming around
I wanna throw my bills out the window, catch a train to another town
I go back working, gotta buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes
I'll drink a little beer in a tavern
I'll cry a little bit of these working man blues

Well, hey hey, working man, working man like me
I ain't never been on welfare, that's one place I won't be
I'll be back working as long as my two hands are fit to use
I'll drink my beer in a tavern
I'll sing a little bit of these working man blues
Well, I'll drink my beer in a tavern
I'll sing a little bit of these working man blues
