Good Work

(album: Home - 1989)

Well, I lost my job down at the factory
Lost my money in the lottery
Met a little girl walking down the street, I said
Ain't there any way to how to beat the heat
She said hey now little baby, love is all you need
I said working on love sounds good to me

It's good work if you can get it
It's good work if you can get it
It's good work if you can get it
It's good work if you can get it
It's good work if you can get it
Baby just let it work

Well, I'm playing six string down at the corner bar
Be-bop-a-lula on a berry guitar
There was a big fat daddy in a Cadillac
Sweet little angel riding in the back
Hey now mister nothin's gonna come for free
I said Playing six string sounds good to me

Sweet little Mary was just thirteen
Walking down the street she'd make a good man mean
Take a truthing man and she could make him a liar
She could take the coolest cat and set his soul on fire
Hey there pretty babby got me down on my knees
Ya got me working every night babe' trying to please
