Workin’ Man Songtext
von Randy Houser

Working man begs for his own sweet time
Busting them knuckles for a dollar and a dime
Spending his life on the factory line
Working man

Morning coffee in his steel toe boots
Drink it up, lace ′em up, light that fuse
Ain't stacking nothing but some IOU′s
Working man

Can't be late, can't catch a break
BC Powder ′cause everything aches
Cold six-pack, end of the day
Working man

Singin′ whoa, whatcha gonna do?
Woman needs loving and the kids needs shoes
Ain't nothin′ left when he pays them dues
Working man


Whoa, where ya gonna turn?
Daddy said, "Son, better listen, better learn"
Ain't nobody shelling out no concern for the workin′ man
Yeah, I've seen it firsthand buddy, just like you
That′s why I'm out here singing these blue collar blues
For the working man

Yeah, the working man remembers what he learned in the bible
Devil's gonna play when your hands go idle
Always looking for a shot at the title of the workin′ man
Yeah, all that stuff when it hits the fan
Rolls downhill and lands on the working man

Whoa, whatcha gonna do?
Woman needs loving and the kids needs shoes
Ain′t nothin' left when he pays them dues
Working man (working man)

Singin′ whoa, where ya gonna turn?
Daddy said, "Son, better listen, better learn"
Ain't nobody shelling out no concern for the working man
Yeah, I′ve seen it firsthand buddy, just like you
That's why I′m out here singing these blue collar blues
For the working man, yeah

Whoa, where you gonna run?
Born here, die here, get the job done
It's a life passed down like an old shotgun
Working man


Singing whoa, whatcha gonna do?
Woman needs loving and the kids needs shoes
Ain't nothin′ left when he pays them dues
Working man (working man)

Singin′ whoa, where ya gonna turn?
Daddy said, "Son, better listen, better learn"
Ain't nobody shelling out no concern for the working man

Whoa, where ya gonna turn?
Whoa, better listen, better learn
Whoa, ain′t no concern for the working man
