lyrics

13. Song for the Working Man
Dan DiMonte/Josh Vaske

Working man wakes up before the sun
Simple breakfast of black coffee and cold bread
Then he loads up his truck and goes back inside
Kiss his wife on the lips and the kids on their foreheads

Punches in his card, puts his hard hat on
Seven stories closer to God and he starts his day
Laying steel can be such hard work in the hot, hot sun
Knows his work will remain even when he’s gone away

And you don’t hear him complaining
‘Cause he’s the working man

Kids greet him at the door with a great big hug
His wife asks him, “how was your day?” with a smile on her face
He says that work was fine, “what’s for dinner, hun?”
Then he stands for a while and he thinks with a smile
That there’s so many things in life that you can’t replace

And the years go by, and his children grow
And he’s laying down that steel because you know
He’s a working man

The working man lies in bed on a cold December night
He tells his family it’s time for him to go away
His wife kisses him on the lips and the kids on his forehead
Then he closes his eyes, and he hears a faint voice say:

You don’t gotta work no more
You don’t gotta work no more
You don’t gotta work no more
You don’t gotta work no more
You don’t gotta work no more
You don’t gotta work no more
You don’t gotta work no more
You don’t gotta work no more
You don’t gotta work no more
You don’t gotta work no more
You don’t gotta work no more
You don’t gotta work no…

And you never heard him complaining
‘Cause he’s the working man.
