Wake up Darlin', I've gotta go 

The boss just called an' he's got me a load



Pick-up in Texas, drop-off in Maine 

Then I'll deadhead back home to you again 

Well, I hope you understand and miss me too 

I'm just workin' for the man an' me an' you 



There's something about the way he shakes my hand 

And says, “Man, thank you” 

And my paycheck reflects his gratitude 

And that's enough with your sweet love 

To keep these wheels a turnin' 

Down the road of life and on the highway too 

While I'm workin' for the man an' me an' you 



Hello Darlin', I had to call 

I'm just a mile outside of Arkansas 



And I was thinkin', when I get home 

About making love to you all night long 

But I'll hold you with my heart until I do 

An' keep workin' for the man an' me an' you 



There's something about the way he shakes my hand 

And says, “Man, thank you” 

And my paycheck reflects his gratitude 

And that's enough with your sweet love 

To keep these wheels a turnin' 

Down the road of life and on the highway too 

While I'm workin' for the man an' me an' you 



Down the road of life and highway too 

I'm just workin' for the man an' me an' you
