Workin' Man Lyrics - Damn Right, Rebel Proud - Hank Williams Iii

I woke up this mornin', kissed my wife goodbye 

I pray to god that i'll make it home safe tonight 

it's a dangerous job but i take that risk 

I'll trade my blood and sweat just to feed my kids 

I've been working for the man since a tender age 

now a rich politician wants to lower my wage 

pour me a drink so i can understand 

these are the struggles of a working man 

I work outside in the pouring rain 

when it's cold as ice when I'm full of pain 

it don't matter what i feel inside 

as long as the job i'm working gets done on time 

the boss man says works getting slow 

pack up your tools boys and head on home 

I pour another drink and try to understand 

these are the struggles of a working man 

you see i work construction 

I build things 

do you understand how important that is to the world? 

I don't know if ya'll realize what kind of pressure that puts on a man like me 

I love my wife and i raise my son, best i can, better then some 

I just found out the other day i got another little one that'ts on the way 

I took a new job down at the factory, ya it don't pay much but at least we can eat 

0I roll up a smoke and think a new plan? (can't really hear that) 

these are the struggles of a working man 

when down to the river just the other day 

got down on my knees and began to pray 

I said lord please won't you understand 

the struggles of a working man 

these are the struggles of a working man
