Gary Morris - Workin Man Blues Lyrics

Well it's a big job just gettin' by with nine kids and a wife
I've been a workin' man damn near all my life
And I keep workin'
Just as long as my two hands are fit to use
I drink my beer in a tavern
Sing a little bit of these workin' man blues

I keep my nose on the grind stone
Work hard everyday
I get a little drunk on the weekend
After I draw my pay
Gotta go back workin'
Come Monday mornin' I'm right back with my crew
I'll drink a little beer that evening
Sing a little bit of these workin' man blues

Sometimes I think about leavin'
Do a little bummin' around
Gonna throw the bills out the window
Catch a train to another town
Gotta go back workin'
Gotta buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes
I'll drink a little beer in the tavern
Try a little bit of these workin' man blues

I say hey, hey working man
A workin' man like me
I ain't never been on welfare
That's one place I won't be

Gotta keep on workin'
Just as long as my two hands are fit to use
I'll drink my beer in the taverns
Cry a little bit of these workin' man blues
