Working Man

(专辑： Blue Highway - 1984)

Stumble from my good warm bed
Monday morning, oh my head
Gotta go and do it all again
Wake up baby, rise and shine
It's coffee, eggs & bacon time
Walk your working man out to the car

The boss is in his usual mood
Not one thing does he approve
Sometimes you can't keep him satisfied
Up and down the assembly line
Weary faces much like mine
Showing the wear and tear in their eyes

They're making it hard on the working man
Trying to make a living any way he can
Making ends meet on the installment plan
His money goes right through his hands
Heaven, help him if you think you can
They're making it hard on the working man

Big policeman in his prime
Sits behind his billboard sign
Aims his radar gun right straight at me
A letter from the IRS
Says "Boy, you're taxes are a mess"
Is this the way the good life's supposed to be?

They're making it hard on the working man
Trying to make a living any way he can
Making ends meet on the installment plan
His money goes right through his hands
Heaven, help him if you think you can
They're making it hard on the working man

I stumble from my good warm bed
Monday morning, oh my head
Gotta go and do it all again
Too much room in the Frigidaire
The kids all need new shoes to wear
Payment's late on my old truck again

They're making it hard on the working man
Trying to make a living any way he can
Making ends meet on the installment plan
His money goes right through his hands
Heaven, help him if you think you can
They're making it hard on the working man

They're making it hard on the working man
Trying to make a living any way he can
Making ends meet on the installment plan
His money goes right through his hands
Heaven, help him if you think you can
