working man's inspiration

Lyrics

It's so hard to live life one day at a time,
To do it a man must learn to take a lot in stride.
Yes the hunger for the finer things in life,
is just so hard to satisfy.
But where there's a will there's a way
is what's inside his mind.
He knows to achieve his dreams
will take most of his life.
And there's always one thing that'll get him through the night,
and that's laying in the arms of his loving wife.

Chorus...

Just the life of the working man
always willing to lend a helping hand.
Yes even when he don't understand
he still does his best the best he can.
Thats just the life of the working man,
with a heart of steel, and caloused hands
From dawn til dusk, he'll work the land
Lord bless the heart of the working man.

Days come along when he's had enough.
Something in his mind says give it up.
Then he hears a story on the news that calls his bluff,
and tells him that a 40 hour living is not so rough.
The newsmans' talkin bout all the people down on their luck,
who face each day wonderin how they'll feed the ones they love.
So he gets down on his knees and thanks the Lord above,
For giving him the strength each day to not give up.

Repeat chorus
