Lyrics

Verse 1: My day begins with a wake up call at 6:30 AM
I drive down to the auto shop
To fix 'ol Jenkins fender again
Six transmissions, four brake jobs later
My ten hour shift's finally at an end
But they'll be no rest tonight and I don't know when

Chorus: 'Cause I work hard, play hard
That's the way I like it
When I get down to business
Be it pay or play, nobody gets in my way
I've learned how to keep a balance so far
I work hard - play just as hard

Verse 2 : The open mic on thursday nights, wouldn't miss it for the world
Singing some Buddy Holly tunes
That Peggy Sue is my kind of girl
In a rowdy crowd fights can break out
Try to be home before the rooster crows
But by the time I post bail
The night comes and goes

Repeat Chorus

Bridge : I always give it my best
My everything
I take it to the limit either way
Whatever demands my attention- I obey

Repeat Chorus
