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)
