Working Man Blues Lyrics by Damon Johnson

Dust

2000

Well it's a big job just gettin' by with nine kids and a wife
But I've been workin' man, dang near all my life but I'll keep workin'
Long as my two hands are fit to use
I'll drink my beer in a tavern
Sing a little bit of these working man blues
I keep my nose on the grindstone, work hard every day
I might get a little tired on the weekend, after I draw my pay
I go back workin'
Come Monday morning I'm right back with the crew
I'll drink my beer in a tavern
Sing a little bit of these working man blues
Sometimes I think about leaving, do a little bummin' around
I want to throw my bills out the window
Catch a train to another town
I'll go back working
I gotta buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes
I drink a little beer in a tavern
Cry a little bit of these working man blues
Well, hey, hey, the working man, the working man like me
I ain't never been on welfare, 'n that's one place I won't be
I'll be working
Long as my two hands are fit to use
I'll drink my beer in a tavern
Sing a little bit of these working man blues
I'll drink my beer in a tavern
Cry a little bit of these working man blues
