life of a workin' man

six am and i'm up again

got my mind on a good weekend

it ain't here today

so off i go

got more bills than my check will pay

a hundred short and it's due today

that hollywood tv man

he says he understands

don't tell me that you understand

what it's like and who i am

if you ain't spend your day

working hard for half your pay

don't tell me 'bout the working class

'til you're the one that busts your ass

when all you got is your pride and your two hands

you can't tell me 'bout the life of a workin' man

looks like the tags are out on this ole beat up truck

it's low on gas

that's just my luck

seems like when it rains

it always pours

you won't hear me cry and moan

'bout the hand i'm dealt

the cards i hold

that politician dc man

he says he understands

don't tell me that you understand

what it's like and who i am

if you ain't spend your day

working hard for half your pay

don't tell me 'bout the working class

'til you're the one that busts your ass

when all you got is your pride and your two hands

you can't tell me 'bout the life of a workin' man

i love this place called usa and i work hard for what i have

so don't tell me that you understand

what it's like and who i am

if you ain't spend your day

working hard for half your pay

don't tell me 'bout the working class

'til you're the one that busts your ass

when all you got is your pride and your two hands

you can't tell me 'bout the life of a workin' man

when all you got is your pride and your two hands

you can't tell me 'bout the life of a workin' man
