A Working Man
|
|
|
|
Early in the morning sun's coming up
Elbows on the table coffer in my cup
Staring our the window passing the dawn
Trying to find the strength to carry on
Know I must rise head out the door
But Lord I don't know if I can take any more
Chorus
A working man is all I'll ever be
It provides a living and the death of me
So I'll go on working and here I'll stay
Just living for the time I can draw my pay
Doing up my boots putting on my hat
Thinking I should quit but I won't do that
I could call the boss say I've caught a chill
Even though I want to I know I never will
Grab my lunch as I turn out the light
In three more days it'll be Friday night
Chorus
A working man is all I'll ever be
It provides a living and the death of me
So I'll go on working and here I'll stay
Just living for the time I can draw my pay
Warming up the truck sitting on a cold seat
Dreaming of the people I'd like to meet
Pull out of the driveway and hit the road
Hoping today to get that third load
I'll help with the payments the bills and such
Buy that new tv I need so much.
Chorus
A working man is all I'll ever be
It provides a living and the death of me
So I'll go on working and here I'll stay
Just living for the time I can draw my pay
Just living for the time I can draw my pay
