lyrics

I'm a paperback novel
I'm easy to read
Sometimes I have good days
And sometimes I bleed
Sometimes that's the same day
It depends on what you need
I am a hard workin', hard workin' man

I used to work for a butcher
Wanted to cut my neck
He filled my belly full of good food
So I put up with it
And then I was a bartender
But I wouldn't take no
I am a hard workin', hard workin' man

Then I looked down, had a wife and kids
Started electricianin', that's what I did
Doing alright making hourly pay
But my body's aching, gotta stop one day
I can stop now, the bank owns me
I'll be workin' 'til I'm seventy three
Days and nights, eights, twelves, or tens
Monday comes and you do it again

I am a hard workin', I'm a hard workin' man
Making a living doing the best I can
I might be workin' 'til the day I die
That's when I'll punch the big ol' clock in the sky
I am a hard workin', I'm a hard workin' man, yes I am
I am a hard workin', I'm a hard workin' man

I am a hard workin', I'm a hard workin' man
Making a living doing the best I can
I might be workin' 'til the day I die
That's when I'll punch the big ol' clock in the sky
I am a hard workin', I'm a hard workin' man, yes I am
I am a hard workin', I'm a hard workin' man
