I Am the Working Man (Radio Edit) (Album Version)

I Am The Working Man - Dusty Drake

That's what I'm talkin' about

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 sh*t

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
