[00:11.624] It's a big job gettin' by with nine kids and a wife
[00:17.815] You know I've been a workin' man dang near all my life
[00:23.772] I'll keep on working long as my two hands are fit to use
[00:30.445] I drink my beer at a tavern and sing a little bit of these working man blues
[00:39.756] Well, I keep my nose on the grindstone, work hard every day
[00:47.072] Get tired on the weekend, after
[00:49.695] I draw my pay
[00:50.999] But I go back workin', come
[00:54.299] Monday mornin',
[00:55.234] I'm right back with the crew
[00:58.068] I drink a little beer that evening, sing a little bit of these working man blues
[01:07.169] Sometimes
[01:10.288] I think about leavin', do a little bummin' around
[01:14.164] Throw my bills out the window, catch me a train to another town
[01:18.549] But I go back workin',
[01:20.213] I got to buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes
[01:26.841] I drink my beer at a tavern and cry a little bit of these workin' man blues
[01:34.387] Here comin', workin' man
[02:03.987] Well, hey, hey, the working man, the working man like me
[02:08.314] Never been on welfare and that's one place he will not be
[02:12.970] He'd be workin' just as long as his two hands are fit to use
[02:19.487] Might drink a little beer at a tavern sing a little bit of them workin' man blues
[02:29.696] This song for the working man
