Lyrics
Let?s Hear It For The Working Man
Words and Music by Gary Lee Morris
It?s o?clock when he gets up to face the day
Hungover from the night before
Born and raised a family man, in every way
She kisses him as he walks out the door
Things are tight and times are tough throughout the land
In spite of that he?ll do the best he can
He?s a lover, father figure, he?s a hired hand
Let?s hear it for the workin? man
He punches in as he begins his working day
Takes his place on that assembly line
Breaks a sweat, and prays to get, that raise in time
There?s so much weighing on his mind
Things are tight and times are tough throughout the land
In spite of that he?ll do the best he can
He?s a lover, father figure, he?s a hired hand
Let?s hear it for the workin? man
He?s tired as the siren ends his working day
Goes out with the boys and has a beer
Heads back home to hug the kids and thank his wife
For his little piece of paradise
Things are tight and times are tough throughout the land
In spite of that he?ll do the best he can
He?s a lover, father figure, he?s a hired hand
Let?s hear it for the workin? man
