Workin'

Workin on a building, workin in a mine
 Workin on a railroad up and down the line
 Workin on a river, workin on a boat
 Workin on a log jam, anything that floats
 Workin in the kitchen choppin with a knife
 I been washin dishes all of my life
 Workin in the morning, in the afternoon
 Bringin in the harvest underneath the moon
 I got two hands and a back that's strong
 Put em in a rhythm, sing a workin man song
 I been workin since the dawn of time
 Anyone workin is a friend of mine
 
 Workin with a hammer, workin with a saw
 Workin in a library reading the law
 Workin with paper, brushes and pens
 Finish up a job then startin again
 Kiss my woman goodbye, I'll be leavin soon
 Workin at a square dance playin fiddle tunes
 Workin on a big rig, hands on the wheel
 Loadin up a trailer with three tons of steel
 I got two hands and a back that's strong
 Put em in a rhythm, sing a workin man song
 I been workin since the dawn of time
 Anyone workin is a friend of mine
 ♪
 Workin on a scaffold, workin on a ledge
 Got a rope around me now to keep from fallin off the edge
 Workin in the garden trimmin up the trees
 Hoein up the rows, pullin up the weeds
 Workin in a schoolhouse, workin on the news
 Workin in a honky tonk playin the blues
 Workin in a hospital fillin out forms
 Settin broken bones, helpin babies be born
 I got two hands and a back that's strong
 Put em in a rhythm, sing a workin man song
 I been workin since the dawn of time
 Anybody workin is a friend of mine
 ♪
 Lookin in the mirror, wrinkles on my face
 That's the price I pay for runnin this race
 Savin up my wages put em in the bank
 Payin on the mortgage, fillin my tank
 Savin up for college, for a rainy day
 Raisin up the chillen keep a workin a way
 Doin what I can to keep the wolf from the door
 Workin like my father and his father before
 I got two hands and a back that's strong
 Put em in a rhythm, sing a workin man song
 I been workin since the dawn of time
 Anybody workin is a friend of mine
 Anybody workin is a friend of mine
