"Hard Worker (Part 2)" lyrics

Well I give my thanks to the lord
And I give my thanks to the lord, lord, lord, lord
Lord, please give me some more
And I got way down on my knees
Sayin' lord, can't you help me if you please, please, please
Can you save me from this workin' man's disease

So he up and fled, without a word. At planting time, no less. Leaves his home and family and congregation

And my beautiful Melody Anne. We was aiming toward marriage

Lovely girl from a proper family, you understand

Oh, I'm sure

But it was like I could suddenly see my whole life writ: work the fields, marry the girl, have the family, tithe to God, follow that plow mule until you drop dead of exhaustion and they shove you right into that same hard earth you plowed the day before and that's all you got! Everyone in this life deserves one goddamn frolic before he's done!

Amen, brother

So I follow him here. Won't stop until he is home and safe and dry

And had one fuck of an adventure!

Load in
Load out
Get down
Get out

Load in
Load out
Get down
Get out

Drive home
Too late
My mind stays crooked
And my back stays straight

That's right, baby

That's right
Come on now
Come on
I know you can

I'm a hard, hard worker, I'm workin' every day
I'm a hard, hard worker, and I'm savin' all my pay
If I ever get some money put away
I'm gonna take it all out to celebrate
I'm a hard, hard worker every day

I'm a hard, hard worker every day
