Lyrics
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
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...
