Workin' Man Blues Lyrics - Ricky Van Shelton

It's a big job just gettin' by with nine kids and a wife 

But I've been a workin' man dang near all of my life 

I'll keep on workin' long as these two hands are fit to use 

I'll drink a little beer in a tavern I'll sing a little bit of these workin' man blues 

I'll keep my nose to the grindstone work hard everyday 

I might get a little tired on the weekend after I draw my pay 

I'll go back workin' come Monday mornin' I'm right back with the crew 

I'll drink a little beer that evening I'll sing a little bit of these workin' man blues 

Sometimes I think about leavin' do a little bummin' around 

I wanna throw my bills out the window catch a train to another town 

I go back workin' gotta buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes 

I'll drink a little beer in a tavern I'll cry a little bit of these workin' man blues 

[ guitar ] 

Well hey hey workin' man workin' man like me 

I ain't never been on welfare that's one place I won't be 

I'll be back workin' as long as my two hands are fit to use 

I'll drink my beer in a tavern I'll sing a little bit of these workin' man blues 

Well I'll drink my beer in a tavern I'll sing a little bit of these workin' man blues
