Working Man Blues
Words and Music by Richard W. Teague
Well I'm trying to make a living
but don't cha know buddy it's been getting so hard
Driving back and forth to work
on this damn freeway with these fossil fueled cars
My truck is just a heaving
trying to get me through this traffic and it's three miles long
Their putting on make up
and talking on their cell phones, Lord their minds are all gone
Chorus
Don't push me I'm the working man
and I won't take much
Didn't get here on my good looks
and it wasn't much luck
I do my job just to get my pay
and I take myself home
I'm just a man trying to make his stand
You better leave me alone
Alone
Well the boss is on my back cause my razor gave out
and my hair ain't combed
Of coarse I talk back just to give him some flack
and knock him off his throne
Well he's just a prick in a nice new suit
and a shine on his shoes
It's cats like him and all his plans
that make these working man blues
Well I'm trying to work for a living but don't cha know buddy
there's none to be found
Cutting all my wages and knocking back my hours
it goes round and round
My truck is just a heaving trying to get me to work
so I can make me a buck
But the job that I had has left for overseas
so I'm out of luck
