"Life Of A Workin' Man" lyrics

"Life Of A Workin' Man"

Six AM and I'm up again
Got my mind on a good weekend
It ain't here today, so off I go
Got more bills than my check will pay
A hundred short and it's due today
That Hollywood TV man, he says he understands

Don't tell me that you understand
What it's like and who I am
If you ain't spend your day
Working hard for half your pay
Don't tell me 'bout the working class
'Til you're the one that busts your ass
When all you got is your pride and your two hands
You can't tell me 'bout the life of a workin' man

Looks like the tags are out on this ole beat up truck
It's low on gas, that's just my luck
Seems like when it rains, it always pours
You won't hear me cry and moan
'Bout the hand I'm dealt, the cards I hold
That politician DC man, he says he understands

Don't tell me that you understand
What it's like and who I am
If you ain't spend your day
Working hard for half your pay
Don't tell me 'bout the working class
'Til you're the one that busts your ass
When all you got is your pride and your two hands
You can't tell me 'bout the life of a workin' man

I love this place called USA and I work hard for what I have

So don't tell me that you understand
What it's like and who I am
If you ain't spend your day
Working hard for half your pay
Don't tell me 'bout the working class
'Til you're the one that busts your ass
When all you got is your pride and your two hands
You can't tell me 'bout the life of a workin' man

When all you got is your pride and your two hands
You can't tell me 'bout the life of a workin' man
