hank williams iii – workin’ man lyrics
i woke up this morning kissed my wife good bye
i pray to god that i make it home safe tonight
it’s a dangerous job but i take that risk
i trade my blood and sweat just to feed my kids
ive been workin’ for the man since a tender age
now a rich politician wants to lower my wage
pour me a drink so i can understand
these are the struggles of a workin’ man
i work outside in the pourin’ rain
when its cold as ice, when im full of pain
it dont matter what i feel inside, long as the job that im workin’ gets done on time
the boss man says works gettin’ slow
pack up your tools boys and head on home
i pour another drink and try to understand
these are the struggles of a workin’ man
(spoken)
see i work construction, i build things
you understand how important that is to the world
i dont know if ya’ll realize the pressure that puts on a man like me
i love my wife and i raise my son
best i can, better than some
i just found out there other day
i got another little one thats on the way
i took a new job down at the factory
ya, dont pay much but atleast we can eat
i roll up a smoke and i make a new plan
these are the struggles of a workin’ man
went down to the river just the other day
got down on my knees and began to pray
i said lord please wont you understand
the struggles of this workin’ man
these are the struggles of a workin’ man
