Working Man Blues Songtext
von Jody Payne

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 are fit to use
I′ll drink a little beer in a tavern
And sing a little bit of these workin' man blues


Sometimes I think about leavin′ do a little bummin' around
I wanna throw my bills out the window catch a train to another town
I go back workin′ I gotta buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes
I'll get a little bit stoned this weekend
And cry a little bit of these workin′ man blues

I said, 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 back workin' as long as my two hands are fit to use
I′ll get a little bit stoned this weekend
And sing a little bit of these workin' man blues
