Working Man

Fifteen hours in the shop today
 Puttin' in time, honey, makin' my pay
 And when I get home, baby, and my bones are tired
 I just want to sip my drink by the fire
 Cold steel showers at the Thompson mill
 It's long hard hours makin' that Thomspon steel
 If I had my way I might be next to you
 But there's certain things a man's gotta do
 ♪
 Baby, what you got to understand
 I'm nothin' if I ain't a workin' man
 Baby, what you got to understand
 I'm nothin' if I ain't a workin' man
 I know it's hard to take it sittin' down
 And harder still without your man around
 But what I'm doin' here, I do for you
 You give me everything I need
 'Cause your love is true
 Punch my card in the morning light
 Once again in the darker night
 And all I can stand of this working life
 That's why working man needs a loving wife

 Baby, what you got to understand
