Well I tumble from my good warm bed shake the sleep out of my head

I'd rather lay back down instead but I've got work to do

Then I stumble to the coffee pot I like my coffee strong and hot

It helps me get out on the job and I've got work to do

I've got work to do from Monday until Friday

I've got to pay the bills I own and I owe everybody

Weekend comes I have my fun on Saturday and Sunday

The only time that I call mine then back to work on Monday mhm

[ fiddle ]

Poor folks live on dreams and plans and I'll keep doin' all I can

As long as I've got two good hands and I've got work to do

Out on the job I do my best at night when I lay down to rest

I thank the Lord cause I've been blessed that I've got work to do

I've got work to do...
