Working Man Lyrics by Caleb Von

Letters From Home

2023

[Verse 1]
The workin' man is up before the bird start singin'
He hammers all day until his ears start ringin'
Come the end of the month, he ain't got a dime
The county took a quarter and his bills are piled high
[Pre-Chorus]
He says, Lord it ain't supposed to be this way
The workin' man should have a little say
And God says
[Chorus]
Son, I told you the ways of man
Are wicked and filthy in all the land
Keep your money, they'll have your hand
Give a dollar, they'll steal a grand
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
The workin' man is down before the job gets finished
His body hits the ground before his hеad stops spinnin'
The boys are fightin' mad, no, they won't havе this livin'
Can't afford to burdy Dad and so they all start singin'
[Pre-Chorus]
They say, Lord it ain't supposed to be this way
The workin' man should have a little say
And God says
[Chorus]
Sons, I told you the ways of man
Are wicked and filthy in all the land
Keep your body, they'll have your soul
Give a diamond, they'll steal the coal
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
[Bridge]
Stone cold to the bone
Down the chimney, through your coat
Stone cold and growin' old
Follow where that old smoke blows
Sittin' here, you're good as dead
Through the snow you'd better tread
[Pre-Chorus]
You say, Lord it ain't supposed to be this way
And God says
[Chorus]
Son, I told you the ways of man
Are wicked and filthy in all the land
Keep your body, they'll have your soul
Give a diamond, they'll steal the coal
Keep your money, they'll have your hand
Give a dollar, they'll steal a grand
Give a dollar, they'll steal a grand
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
