I Am The Working Man Lyrics

by Dusty Drake

That's what I'm talkin' about.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.



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**,

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.
