It's a big job just gettin' by with nine kids and a wife But I've been a workin' man dang near all of my life And I'll keep on workin' long as my two hands're fit to use Hmm I'll have a little fun on the weekend sing a little bit of these workin' man blues I'll keep my nose on the grindstone work hard everyday I might get a little tired on Friday after I draw my pay But I'll go back workin' come Monday mornin' I'm right back with the crew Yeah I'll have a little fun on the weekend sing a little bit of these workin' man blues Sometimes I think about leaving do a little bummin' around I wanna throw my bills out the window catch a train to another town But I go back workin' gotta buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes Have a little fun on the weekend cry a little bit of these workin' man blues (Here comes that guitar pickin' workin' man) ( guitar ) Well hey hey workin' man workin' man like me I ain't never been on welfare and that's one place I won't be I'll be workin' long as my two hands are fit to use Hmm I'll have a little fun on the weekend sing a little bit of these workin' man blues (This song's for the workin' man)
