Dusty Drake - I Am The Working Man lyrics

That's what I'm talkin' about Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha I cut my teeth on an old lawn-mower Cleanin' out gutters, doin' other people's chores After school, weekends an' holidays Yeah, ever since then, all I've known Is my nose on fire from the grindstone A lifetime built on an hourly wage Muscled arms an' calloused hands I am the workin' man The sun comes up, the sun goes down Gotta keep this world turnin' 'round Blazin' hot, freezin' cold No matter what, it still goes on Pushin', pullin', pourin', mixin' Somebody's gotta fix it I am the workin' man, yes, I am Now, I've laid asphalt an' I've laid brick I've hung sheet, rock and shovelled sh** Eat my lunch down at the Kwickie-Mart Oh, I fill the potholes on easy-street So show some respect when you look at me I'm just out here tryin' to do my part An' I sleep good when the day comes to an end 'Cause I am the workin' man The sun comes up, the sun goes down Gotta keep this world turnin' 'round Blazin' hot, freezin' cold No matter what, it still goes on Pushin', pullin', pourin', mixin' Somebody's gotta fix it I am the workin' man I can swing a hammer, turn a wrench Build a tower, dig a ditch Drive a truck that shakes the earth Somebody's gotta do the dirty work The sun comes up, the sun goes down Gotta keep this world turnin' 'round Blazin' hot, freezin' cold No matter what, it still goes on Pushin', pullin', pourin', mixin' Somebody's gotta fix it I am, I am the workin' man Yes, I am oh, the workin' man
