"Working Man Blues" lyrics

As he wakes up and lifts his head
And drags himself out of the bed
He thinks about what is to come
And if the day will bring him down
He'll brush his teeth and clean his face
Put his hair all in its place
And then he'll head on out the door
And make his way out to the town

A working man may never be
Left alone to live life free
To keep up with the bills to pay
He'll have to work another day
Wrench that nut, clean the floor
Fix the hinges on the door
Punch out when the day is done
Hit the bar to find some fun

I don't know, but it's been said
Working hard will keep him fed
But what about the toll it takes
On what kind of life he wants to lead?
Rent goes up and prices soar
Can't afford the bar no more
Wages haven't changed in years
The more he gives, the more he'll bleed

A working man may never be
Left alone to live life free
To keep up with the bills to pay
He'll have to work another day
Wrench that nut, clean the floor
Fix the hinges on the door
Punch out when the day is done
And hit the bar to find some fun

A working man may never be
Left alone to live life free
To keep up with the bills to pay
He'll have to work another day
Wrench that nut, clean the floor
Fix the hinges on the door
Punch out when the day is done
And hit the bar to find some fun
