lyrics

You got hard workin' papa, work his fingers down to the bone
Hard workin' poppa, work his fingers down to the bone
Why don't you come back mama, make this house a happy home

Workin' like a dog
For the man
If I'm not the best on the line
Then I might get canned
Doin' the same task
All day long
At least my mind had time to wander
To my favorite song

Won't you step into these workin' man shoes
I got the clock in, clock out, clock in, clock out blues

I went down
To Satan's mill
Got drunk with the servants
Till we had our fill
12 hour shift
20 minute break
My mind is hungry
And my body aches

Won't you step into these workin' man shoes
I got the clock in, clock out, clock in, clock out blues

Well, a friend told me we got to make a sacrifice
And another friend told me treat your brother nice
But one was resting on his laurels, and the other was chillin' on ice
Why don't they talk to me when they can take their own advice

Won't you step into these workin' man shoes
I got the clock in, clock out, clock in, clock out blues

I'm gonna get me a new job
The job of my dreams
I'm gonna get me a hammer
And tear down these machines

Won't you step into these workin' man shoes
I got the clock in, clock out, clock in, clock out blues
