Lyrics

I don't want to work myself into an early grave
I just want to make some money and be able to save

I don't want to climb the corporate ladder
I don't want to build the master plan
I don't want to give myself an ulcer

'Cause I'm just a working man
Just a working man

I'd like to wake up in the morning and feel inspired
I'd like to come home in the evening and not feel tired

I'd like to have some energy left over
Just enough so that I can
Enjoy my family

'Cause I'm just a working man
Just a working man

Just a working man
Just a working man
Just a working man
Just a working man
Yeah, I'm just a working man
Yeah, that's all I am
Yeah, I'm doing the best I can
