Working Hard At Hardly Working

(album: Drink Happy Thoughts - 2023)

Got a reputation for seeing things through
And get the job done, that's what they pay me to do
'Cause I don't take shortcuts, I never quit
Hadn't met a job that I gave up on yet

It's eat, sleep, work and repeat
That's where I'll be if you're looking for me

Working hard at hardly working
Double shifts in the sun and my muscles hurting
I'm whipping these cold drinks and putting up both feet
Are eighty-hour weeks really worth it?
Yeah just look at me, what do you think?
I'm working hard at hardly working

This time is tough but I'm tougher
Hard to work in these conditions I'm under
Ladies keep asking me for help with the lotion
Working my way up for the big promotion

Working hard at hardly working
Sun-burnt skin and my muscles hurting
I'm picking up cold drinks and putting up both feet
These eighty-hour weeks might be worth it
When that whiskey blows not sure if I'll go
Rum country loud or overtime tequila stirring
But right now I'm kinda worn out
From working hard at hardly working

When that whistle blows, not sure if I'll go
Rum country loud or overtime tequila stirring
Deep commitment to my burden
Yeah there's so much to do, might as well work straight through
The night shift just to be certain
If you're looking for me I'm down by the beach
Working hard at hardly working
Working hard at hardly working
