It`s a big job just gettin` by with nine kids and a wife
But I`ve been a workin` man dang near all of my life
And I`ll keep on workin` long as my two hands`re fit to use
Hmm I`ll have a little fun on the weekend sing a little bit of these workin` man blues
I`ll keep my nose on the grindstone work hard everyday
I might get a little tired on Friday after I draw my pay
But I`ll go back workin` come Monday mornin` I`m right back with the crew
Yeah I`ll have a little fun on the weekend sing a little bit of these workin` man blues
Sometimes I think about leaving do a little bummin` around
I wanna throw my bills out the window catch a train to another town
But I go back workin` gotta buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes
Have a little fun on the weekend cry a little bit of these workin` man blues
(Here comes that guitar pickin` workin` man)
[ guitar ]
Well hey hey workin` man workin` man like me
I ain`t never been on welfare and that`s one place I won`t be
I`ll be workin` long as my two hands are fit to use
Hmm I`ll have a little fun on the weekend sing a little bit of these workin` man blues
(This song`s for the workin` man)
