Make my livin'
From the sweat of my brow
Makin' ends meet
But I don't know how
I got more goin out than I got comin' in…
Mmmmmm I'm eeekin' out a livin'

The man on the news
Says there's a war
Quite a ways away
On a foreign shore
I got news for ya son
There's a war right here
I'd be happy
If I could buy a beer

Chorus
Cause I'm a workin' man
Yeah I'm a workin' Man
I got to keep on keepin'on
Cause I'm a workin' man
Yes I am

Guitar solo

Chorus
Cause I'm a workin' man
Yeah I'm a workin' Man
I got to keep on keepin'on
Cause I'm a workin' man
Yes I am

Get up everyday
And I punch that clock
I have some
But I don't have a lot
Schools comin' up
And the kids need shoes
Only Mama
Can chase away these blues

Chorus
Cause I'm a workin' man
Yeah I'm a workin' Man
I got to keep on keepin'on
Cause I'm a workin' man
Yes I am

Harp solo

Chorus
Cause I'm a workin' man
Yeah I'm a workin' Man
I got to keep on keepin'on
Cause I'm a workin' man
Yes I am
