I Am The Working Man Lyrics - Singles - Dusty Drake

That's what I'm talkin' about 

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha 

I cut my teeth on an old lawn-mower 

Cleanin' out gutters, doin' other people's chores 

After school, weekends an' holidays 

Yeah, ever since then, all I've known 

Is my nose on fire from the grindstone 

A lifetime built on an hourly wage 

Muscled arms an' calloused hands 

I am the workin' man 

The sun comes up, the sun goes down 

Gotta keep this world turnin' 'round 

Blazin' hot, freezin' cold 

No matter what, it still goes on 

Pushin', pullin', pourin', mixin' 

Somebody's gotta fix it 

I am the workin' man, yes, I am 

Now, I've laid asphalt an' I've laid brick 

I've hung sheet, rock and shovelled shit 

Eat my lunch down at the Kwickie-Mart 

Oh, I fill the potholes on easy-street 

So show some respect when you look at me 

I'm just out here tryin' to do my part 

An' I sleep good when the day comes to an end 

'Cause I am the workin' man 

The sun comes up, the sun goes down 

Gotta keep this world turnin' 'round 

Blazin' hot, freezin' cold 

No matter what, it still goes on 

Pushin', pullin', pourin', mixin' 

Somebody's gotta fix it 

I am the workin' man 

I can swing a hammer, turn a wrench 

Build a tower, dig a ditch 

Drive a truck that shakes the earth 

Somebody's gotta do the dirty work 

The sun comes up, the sun goes down 

Gotta keep this world turnin' 'round 

Blazin' hot, freezin' cold 

No matter what, it still goes on 

Pushin', pullin', pourin', mixin' 

Somebody's gotta fix it 

I am, I am the workin' man 

Yes, I am oh, the workin' man
