Workin' Man Blues

(Ghostowne)
2008-08-02
words & music: Steven Wells. published by Drunk Mosquitoes (BMI)
I wake up in the lion’s den waiting for the roar
I put myself together & climb in my old ford
Work my fingers to the bone, drag my ass home at night
Into the arms of my girl & pour me a cold bud-light

Cos’ I’m just a blue collar, workin’ man, tryin’ to do all I can
Living between pay checks
Looking for a break from the one’s who’ve got it made
& hoping that I’ll be next
Cos I’m up to my neck… livin in debt…
Thanks to my uncle sam, I got the workin’ man
I got the workin’ man blues

When pharmaceutical companies & taxman take their slice
It leaves me so damn poor I can’t even spend the night
I don’t mean to be downhearted it’s just my point of view
But if I had a bit mo’ money I probably sing a different tune
