Workin' Man Blues

In the style of

Diamond Rio

Lee Roy Parnell

Steve Wariner

Lyrics

it's a big job
just gettin' by
with nine kids
and a wife

i've been a workin' man
dang near all my life
i'll be workin'
long as my two hands
are fit to use

i drink my beer
in a tavern
sing a little bit
of these
workin' man blues
get it steve

i keep my nose
on the grindstone
i work hard every day
i might get
a little tired
on the weekends

after i draw my pay
but i'll
go back workin'
come monday mornin'
i'm right back
with the crew

i'll drink a little beer
that evenin'
sing a little bit
of these
workin' man blues
aw work it out leroy

well hey hey
the workin' man
the workin' man
like me

i ain't never
been on welfare
that's one place
i won't be
'cause i'll be workin'
long as my two hands
are fit to use
ha ha ha

well i drink
a little beer
in a tavern
sing a little bit
of these
workin' man blues
here comes that
workin' man

sometimes
i think about leavin'
do a little
bummin' around

i wanna
throw my bills
out the window
catch a train
to another town

but i go back
to workin'
i gotta buy my kids
a brand-new
pair of shoes
that's right
yes ha ha

yeah
drink a little beer
in a tavern
cry a little bit
of these
workin' man blues

aw here come them
rio boys
well hey hey
the workin' man
the workin' man
like me

i ain't never
been on welfare
and that's
the one place
i won't be
but i'll be workin'
long as my two hands
are fit to use

i drink my beer
in a tavern
sing a little bit
of these
workin' man blues

aw get it son
yeah i drink my beer
in a tavern
cry a little bit
of these
workin' man blues

this song here
is for the workin' man
mr. merle haggard
