"Workin' Man's Blues" lyrics

"Workin' Man's Blues"

Rudely awoken as the sun was thrown up to the sky
Dreaded weekday mornings and I can tell you why
Cause its time for workin' gotta put the days in to survive
But it just makes me pissed all the swell that I missed
When its predicted ten feet high

When the swell
When the swell is pumpin'
The swell is pumpin
When the swell
When the swell is pumpin'
The swell is pumpin

I was nearly halfway there when I took the wrong turn but I knew
I found myself at the point break contemplating on what to do
So I made up my mind and I got on the line so I could hear my bossmans reply
He said it just makes me pissed all the work that you missed
When the swell is 10 feet high

When the swell
When the swell is pumpin
The swell is pumpin
When the swell
When the swell is pumpin
The swell is pumpin

Whatcha gonna do now, whatcha gonna say
You can go on doin whatever it may be
But you know that your not foolin
But that don't matter to me
Cause you know that we've all gone and done it before
Called the bossman and phoned in well
You can go to hell for 8 hours
Or have a whole day of heaven to yourself
You can go to hell for 8 hours
Or have a whole day of heaven
Whole day of heaven to your self

Well I woke up this morning
The swell was pumpin' so you know what I did
Went to the point break and called my boss to phone in well
You can go to hell for 8 hours
Or have a whole day of heaven
Whole day of heaven to yourself
