The Working Man
5am comes early, you can count on that
The summer sun feels hotter underneath his old hard hat
He ain't rich, he ain't famous, he's just like me and you
Heaven only knows what we would do
If it weren't for the working man
He gets up every day at dawn
Tills the soil, pumps the oil, and rolls the future on
Every city, street and two-lane town, all across this land
None of it would be here now today, if it weren't for the working man
No one wants his autograph, and there ain't no hall of fame
For working 14 hours out there in the freezing rain
But he'll be there until the job is done
Or they put him in the ground
This old world would stop turning 'round
If it weren't for the working man
He gets up every day at dawn
Tills the soil, pumps the oil, and keeps the country strong
Every city, street and two-lane town, all across this land
None of it would be here now today, if it weren't for the working man
None of it would be here now today, if it weren't for the working man
Here's to the working man
God bless the working man
The summer sun feels hotter underneath his old hard hat
He ain't rich, he ain't famous, he's just like me and you
Heaven only knows what we would do
If it weren't for the working man
He gets up every day at dawn
Tills the soil, pumps the oil, and rolls the future on
Every city, street and two-lane town, all across this land
None of it would be here now today, if it weren't for the working man
No one wants his autograph, and there ain't no hall of fame
For working 14 hours out there in the freezing rain
But he'll be there until the job is done
Or they put him in the ground
This old world would stop turning 'round
If it weren't for the working man
He gets up every day at dawn
Tills the soil, pumps the oil, and keeps the country strong
Every city, street and two-lane town, all across this land
None of it would be here now today, if it weren't for the working man
None of it would be here now today, if it weren't for the working man
Here's to the working man
God bless the working man
