Workin'

(album: Kuntry Livin' - 2014)

[Chorus: Big Smo & Alexander King]
I woke up this morning, tied my boots up
Cause I knew it's going to be a long day
Fired my truck up, grabbed my coffee
Kissed my baby, got on my way
Cause I'm working 'til it's hurting
That's the only way to make an honest day's pay
So I'm working even when it's hurting
That's the only way to make an honest day's wage

[Verse 1: Big Smo]
Yeah, I'm up early with the birdies, ready to get dirty
This ain't a song for you if you asleep at 7:30
I rise like the sun; I'm the bag of the pounds
A full throttle in the bottle like that home-made shine

I'm just trying to make a living, boss man tripping
My overtime's strong; I don't pay him no attention
Money in the mason jar, country boy pension
No lady, three kids, take a lot to fill the kitchen

Fingernails dirty, my back stay hurting
You can bet I got to play for every penny that I'm earning
I ain't asking for a raise, but I know the boss heard me
Nobody on this job site's working like I'm working

[Pre-Chorus: Big Smo]
Thirty below to a hundred degrees
You ain't pushing hard enough if your hands don't bleed
I'm the first to clock in and the last to leave
I ain't never had a problem rolling up my sleeves

[Chorus]

[Verse 2: Big Smo]
I'm out the door by the sun up, focused on the come-up
We never sleep in, that ain't how we was brought up
I push it to the limit when the money gets low
And been known to work past when the plant whistle blows

Pay check feeling like a lottery ticket
I might save a couple bucks if my kids don't spend it
It don't matter cause I love it every day of my life
Spent more time on the clock than I do with my wife

State to state, never late, putting miles on the road
Drop it off, fill it up, get me to my next load
Call my old lady, let her know I'll be late
And I ain't worry cause I know that she going to save me a plate

I told you...

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Bridge: Big Smo & Alexander King]
Working, working

Working, working

[Chorus]
