Working Man

(álbum: The Dip - 2015)

Fifteen hours in the shop today
Putting in time, running [?], making my pay
And when I get home baby and my bones are tired
I just want to sip my drink by the fire

Cold steel showers at the Thompson mill
It's long hard hours making that Thompson steel
If I had my way I might be next to you
But there's certain things a man's got to do

Baby what you got to understand
I'm nothing if I ain't a working man
Baby what you got to understand
I'm nothing if I ain't a working man

I know it's hard to take it sitting down
And harder still without your man around
But what I'm doing here, I do for you
To give you everything you need, and you know it's true

Punch my card in the morning light
Once again in the dark of night
I've had all I can stand of this working life
That's why a working man needs a loving wife

Baby what you got to understand
I'm nothing if I ain't a working man
Baby what you got to understand
I'm nothing if I ain't a working man
