V1.
The workingman says what he don't wanna feel,
And he don't wanna feel alone.
The workingman stands on his feet all day
Just to bring some respect back home.
CHORUS:
For the workingman with the hardened hands
And the voice that the years have aged,
May you find some rest for giving your best
To the folks whose day you made.
V2.
The workingman ties up his boots at five,
And the lights just went out at three.
Well, he don't mind the rain, and he kind of complains,
But that's alright. His advice is free.
CHORUS:
For the workingman with the hardened hands
And the voice that the years have aged,
May you find some rest for giving your best
To the folks whose day you made.
BRIDGE.
Well, he'll prove himself, and his word is oak.
He'll do it 'til it's just right.
He's a husband and dad who gave all he had
So his kids could shine bright.
