Workin on a building, workin in a mine

Workin on a railroad up and down the line

Workin on a river, workin on a boat



Workin on a log jam, anything that floats

Workin in the kitchen choppin with a knife

I been washin dishes all of my life

Workin in the morning, in the afternoon

Bringin in the harvest underneath the moon



Chorus:

I got two hands and a back that’s strong

Put em in a rhythm, sing a workin man song

I been workin since the dawn of time

Anyone workin is a friend of mine



Workin with a hammer, workin with a saw

Workin in a library reading the law

Workin with paper, brushes and pens

Finish up a job then startin again

Kiss my woman goodbye, I’ll be leavin soon

Workin at a square dance playin fiddle tunes

Workin on a big rig, hands on the wheel

Loadin up a trailer with three tons of steel

Chorus



Workin on a scaffold, workin on a ledge

Got a rope around me now to keep from fallin off the edge

Workin in the garden trimmin up the trees

Hoein up the rows, pullin up the weeds

Workin in a schoolhouse, workin on the news

Workin in a honky tonk playin the blues

Workin in a hospital fillin out forms

Settin broken bones, helpin babies be born

Chorus



Lookin in the mirror, wrinkles on my face

That’s the price I pay for runnin this race

Savin up my wages put em in the bank

Payin on the mortgage, fillin my tank

Savin up for college, for a rainy day

Raisin up the chillen keep a workin a way

Doin what I can to keep the wolf from the door

Workin like my father and his father before

Chorus
