Willie Nelson - Workin' Man Blues lyrics

rate me

It's a big job just gettin' by with nine kids and a wife

But I've been a workin' man dang near all of my life

And I'll keep on workin' long as my two hands are fit to use

I'll drink a little beer in a tavern and sing a little bit of these workin' man blues

Sometimes I think about leavin' do a little bummin' around

I wanna throw my bills out the window catch a train to another town

I go back workin' I gotta buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes

I'll get a little bit stoned this weekend and cry a little bit of these workin' man blues

I said hey hey workin' man workin' man like me

I ain't never been on welfare and that's one place I won't be

I'll be back workin' as long as my two hands are fit to use

I'll get a little bit stoned this weekend and sing a little bit of these workin' man blues
