It’s a workman’s life
It’s a hard-earned day
It’s a tired time
When you’re blown away
It’s hard-earned sleep
and some hard-earned pay
It’s a workman’s life
On a desperate day
I’m tired of sitting ‘round
Just getting old
Trying to turn these thoughts into gold
But I’m too busy just doin’ what I’m told
It’s a broken dream for a broken soul
It’s a workman’s life
It’s a hard-earned day
It’s a tired time
When you’re blown away
It’s hard-earned sleep
and some hard-earned pay
It’s a workman’s life
On a desperate day
Saturday we're feelin’ fine
Sunday comes we walk the line
Oh but I got Monday on my mind
I’m done working for the man in the moon
Nothing to promise, nothing to do
On another lost and loaded Monday afternoon
Just a wasted day that ends too soon
It’s a workman’s life
It’s a hard-earned day
It’s a tired time
When you’re blown away
It’s hard-earned sleep
and some hard-earned pay
It’s a workman’s life
On a desperate day
Saturday we're feelin’ fine
Sunday comes we walk the line
Oh but I got Monday on my mind
A hard-earned sleep is coming my way
It’s what we take from this tired day
And I know I’ve got one more thing to say
It’s a fruitful gift and for that we pray
It’s a workman’s life
It’s a hard-earned day
It’s a tired time
When you’re blown away
It’s hard-earned sleep
and some hard-earned pay
It’s a workman’s life
On a desperate day
