Get up in the morning 'fore the rooster starts to crow Thinkin' 'bout the thousand places that I'd like to go If only I could have an extra hour in my day Maybe then I wouldn't have to work my life away But that's the life of a hard workin' man Boss is breathin' down my neck to get the big job done Six days a week, ten hours a day don't leave much time for fun Dirty busted knuckles, I keep workin' through the pain If I could I'd quit this job and not come back again But that's the life of a hard workin' man Spent the better part of twenty years at this old dead-end job Countin' down the minutes 'til it's time to punch that clock Head back home and get some rest, and do it all again Go to sleep and dream of all the places I ain't been But that's the life of a hard workin' man Boss is breathin' down my neck to get the big job done Six days a week, ten hours a day don't leave much time for fun Dirty busted knuckles, I keep workin' through the pain If I could I'd quit this job and not come back again But that's the life of a hard workin' man
