Verse2: I keep my nose on the grindstone, I work hard every day
might get a little tired on the weekend, after I draw my pay
but I'll go back workin,
come Monday morning I'm right back with the crew
I'll drink a little beer that evening,
sing a little bit of these working man blues

Verse3: Hey hey, the working man, the working man like me
I ain't never been on welfare, that's one place I won't be
cause I'll be working
long as my two hands are fit to use
I drink a little beer in a tavern
sing a little bit of these working man blues

[SOLO - one verse]

Verse4: Sometimes I think about leaving, do a little bummin around
I wanna throw my bills out the window catch a train to another town
but I go back working
I gotta buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes
yeah drink a little beer in a tavern,
cry a little bit of these working man blues

[VERSE3]

yeah drink a little beer in a tavern,
cry a little bit of these working man blues

(this song is for THE workin man, Mr. Merle Haggard)
