I took a little fall, snapped one of my bones
Now I ain't at work, no, now I'm here at home
A guy like me don't get many lucky breaks
So when he gets a good one, he grabs all he can take
I fell down so here I lay
Got the workman's comp so everything's okay
Can't do nothing for myself, my baby's upset
Says if I don't get better she's gonna break my neck
But I'm sleeping in late, I just say what the heck
This is my dream come true, doin nothing gettin a check
I fell down so here I lay
Got the workman's comp so everything's okay
Somebody else to put the sheetrock up
Somebody else from the working cla**
Somebody else to get up at dawn
Everybody else, you just kiss my a**
I'm just day to day guy, got no retirement plan
Working til my body gives out, a small town laborin' man
I got lucky this time with the right diamond joe
If this had happened last month, no compensation, no dough
I fell down so here I lay
Got the workman's comp so everything's okay
I fell down so here I lay
Got the workman's comp so everything's okay
I fell down so here I lay
Got the workman's comp so everything's okay
