Lyrics provided by https://damnlyrics.com/ ---Workin' Man--- --newworldson-- I woke up this mornin', kissed my wife goodbye i pray to god that i'll make it home safe tonight it's a dangerous job but i take that risk i'll trade my blood and sweat just to feed my kids i've been working 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 working man i work outside in the pouring rain when it's cold as ice when i'm full of pain it don't matter what i feel inside as long as the job i'm working gets done on time the boss man says works getting slow pack up your tools boys and head on home i pour another drink and try to understand these are the struggles of a working man you see i work construction i build things do you understand how important that is to the world? i don't know if ya'll realize what kind of pressure that puts on a man like me i love my wife and i raise my son, best i can, better then some i just found out the other day i got another little one that'ts on the way i took a new job down at the factory, ya it don't pay much but at least we can eat i roll up a smoke and think a new plan? (can't really hear that) these are the struggles of a working man when down to the river just the other day got down on my knees and began to pray i said lord please won't you understand the struggles of a working man these are the struggles of a working man
