Workin' Man Hank Williams III
[Dm]i woke up this morning. kissed my wife good-b[C]ye
i pray to god that i make it ho[Dm]me safe tonight
it's a dangerous job but i t[C]ake that risk
i trade my blood and sweat just t[Dm]o feed my kids
i been working for the man since the t[C]ender age
now a rich politician wants to l[Dm]ower my wage
pour me a drink so i can understand...t[C]hese are the struggles of a workin man. [Dm]
i work outside in the pourin rain, when it's cold as ice, when i'm full of pain
it dont matter what i feel inside, long as the job that i'm workin gets done on time
the boss man says works getting slow, pack up your tools and head on home
i pour another drink and try to understand, these are the troubles of a workin man
"see i work construction..i build things..do you understand how important
that is to the world? none of ya'll realize the pressure a man like me has on him
i love my wife and i raise my son, best i can, better than some
i just found out the other day i got another little one thats on the way
i took a new job down at the factory.yeah it dont pay much but at least we can eat
i roll up a smoke and make a new plan, these are the struggles of a workin man
[Dm]went down to the river just the othe[C]r day, [G]got down on my knees and began to pra[Dm]y
I said lor[Dm]d please wont you under[C]stand, struggles of this workin man[Dm]
[Dm]these are the struggles of a workin man
