Verse 1
Like a bird on a wire when the weather turns so cold
Rusty old train tracks the train don’t use no more
Boarded up factory, broken glass on the floor
Everybody moved away because everything closed

Chorus
Workin’ man blues, workin’ man blues
I’ve done walked holes in both of my shoes
Workin’ man blues, workin’ man blues
I’ve gotta find me, I’ve got to find another job to do
Workin’ man blues

Verse 2
My little girl just turned nine, I won’t let her see me cry
She knows everything will be fine
Dad will find another job to do
This economy is real bad news
Woah workin’ man blues

Chorus
Well workin’ man blues, workin’ man blues
Gonna walk holes in both of my shoes
Workin’ man blues, workin’ man blues
Gotta find me, I gotta find another job to do
These workin’ man blues
