Workin’ Man Songtext
von The Back Porch Majority

(′Round and around and 'round...
′Round and 'round and 'round...)

The world goes ′round and ′round and 'round
Nobody can stop it
The sun comes up, the sun goes down
I can′t tell you why!
(Can't tell you why!)

I′m just a workin' man, I do the best I can
And I wonder, as I watch the stars roll by
(The wind blows east, the wind blows west
Keeps on a-movin′)
And just like me, it stops to rest once in awhile


I guess it's my maker's plan
I′m just a hardworkin′ man
And it don't take very much to make me smile
I hurry home to my mommy when the long day is done
Her love is ev′rything I ever need!
And I'm up in the mornin′ long before the sun
Lord knows, it's a hard life I lead...
(Life I lead...)

But, ev′ry now and then
The best of men get to wishin'
When my boy grows up, what a great man he will be
Maybe it's selfish pride
But I′d be more than satisfied
If they tell me he′s a workin' man, like me
Just an honest...
And a hardworkin′ man...
Like me...

('Round and ′round and 'round...
′Round and 'round and 'round...)

A hardworkin′ man...

(The sun comes up, the sun goes down...)

A hardworkin′ man...

('Round and ′round and 'round...
′Round and 'round and ′round...)

I work hard ev'ry day!
(The sun comes up, the sun goes down...)

Hardworkin' man...


(′Round and ′round and 'round...
′Round and 'round and ′round...)

I work hard ev'ry day!
(The sun comes up, the sun goes down...)
