hey mister

i'm a workin' man

and the sign says that you need one

i ain't too proud to say

hey mister

i need this job

'cause there's a lady waitin'

i know you know what i mean

if you ever had someone depend on you

hey mister

i don't care about the weather

just take a look at these hands

i'm as strong as you

hey mister

i need this job

'cause i told her that i'd get one

i know you know what i mean

if you ever had someone depend on you

wanna build her a mountain

startin' with a grain of sand

wanna build us a castle

in the middle of the promised land

got a little one comin'

he's gonna look up to me

we're gonna have a family

hey mister

i know i'm young

but there's a man inside me

if you look back at your life

you had to start somewhere too

hey mister
