Working Man's Blues
Embracing the Grit: A Working Man's Tale
Lyrics
It's a big job gettin' by with nine kids and a wife
Supporting a large family is challenging.
You know I've been a workin' man dang near all my life
Expressing a lifetime of being a working individual.
I'll keep on working long as my two hands are fit to use
Intention to continue working as long as physically able.
I drink my beer at a tavern and sing a little bit of these working man blues
Relaxation involves drinking at a tavern and singing about the working class struggles.
Well, I keep my nose on the grindstone, work hard every day
Constantly working diligently and persistently.
Get tired on the weekend, after I draw my pay
Feeling fatigued after a week's work.
But I go back workin', come Monday mornin', I'm right back with the crew
Returning to work every Monday without fail.
I drink a little beer that evening, sing a little bit of these working man blues
Enjoying some beer after work and singing about the working class life.
Sometimes I think about leavin', do a little bummin' around
Contemplating leaving and wandering aimlessly.
Throw my bills out the window, catch me a train to another town
Considering abandoning responsibilities and seeking freedom.
But I go back workin', I got to buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes
However, compelled to return to work for the sake of providing for family needs.
I drink my beer at a tavern and cry a little bit of these workin' man blues
Drinking at a tavern and expressing emotional strain through song about the struggles of a working man.
Here comin', workin' man
Indication of the arrival of a working man.
Well, hey, hey, the working man, the working man like me
Celebrating the identity and struggles of the working class.
Never been on welfare and that's one place he will not be
Pride in never relying on welfare, avoiding that circumstance.
He'd be workin' just as long as his two hands are fit to use
Commitment to work as long as physically capable.
Might drink a little beer at a tavern sing a little bit of them workin' man blues
Possibly enjoying beer and singing about the working class blues.
This song for the working man
A dedication to the working class individuals.
