Life of a Hard Workin' Man Songtext
von Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver

Get up in the morning ′fore the rooster starts to crow
Thinkin' ′bout the thousand places that I'd like to go
If only I could have an extra hour in my day
Maybe then I wouldn't have to work my life away
But that′s the life of a hard workin′ man


Boss is breathin' down my neck to get the big job done
Six days a week, ten hours a day don′t leave much time for fun
Dirty busted knuckles, I keep workin' through the pain
If I could I′d quit this job and not come back again
But that's the life of a hard workin′ man

Spent the better part of twenty years at this old dead-end job
Countin' down the minutes 'til it′s time to punch that clock
Head back home and get some rest, and do it all again
Go to sleep and dream of all the places I ain′t been
But that's the life of a hard workin′ man


Boss is breathin' down my neck to get the big job done
Six days a week, ten hours a day don′t leave much time for fun
Dirty busted knuckles, I keep workin' through the pain
If I could I′d quit this job and not come back again
But that's the life of a hard workin' man
