Well it's a big job just gettin' by with nine kids and a wife
I've been a workin' man dang near all my life
And I'll keep on workin' as long as my two hands are fit to useI'll drink a little beer this weekend
And I'll cry a little bit of these workin' man's bluesSometimes I think about leavin' up, gonna do a little bummin' around
Throw my bills out the window
Take me a train to another town but now I'll keep on workin'
I got to buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes, yeah I'll doI'll drink a little beer this weekend
And I'll cry a little bit of these workin' man's blues
Ya, here comes that workin' manAnd I said, "Hey hey workin' man, a workin' man like me
Never been on welfare and that's one place I won't be"
But I'll keep on workin', Monday morning I'm right back with the crewI'll drink a little beer this weekend
And I'll cry a little bit of these workin' man's blues
Yeah, this song for the workin' man , y'all
