[Dm]
[D]
I woke up this morning to kiss [C] my wife goodbye I pray to God that I make it [Dm] home safe tonight
It's a dangerous job [C] but I take that risk I trade my blood and sweat [D] just to feed my
kids [Dm] I've been working for the man [C] since a tender
age Now a rich [A] politician's gonna [Dm] lower my wage
Pour me a drink so [C] I can understand These aren't the struggles of a [F] working [Dm] man
I work outside in the [C] pouring rain When it's cold as [D] ice, when I'm full of pain
It don't matter what [C] I feel inside Long as the job that I'm [A] working gets done
[D] on time The boss man says [C] work's getting slow
Pack [C] up your tools [A] boys and head [Dm] on home I pour another drink and [C] try to understand
These aren't the struggles of a [Dm] working man
[D]
[C]
[Dm]
[D]
[G] [Dm]
[F] [C] [Dm]
[Dm] See I work construction, I build things You understand how important that is to the
world?
I don't know if y'all realize [Am] the pressure
a man like me's got on
[D]
[Dm]
I love my wife and [C] I raise my son Best I can, [Dm] better than some
I just found out the other day I [D] got another little one that's [Dm] on the way
I took a new job [C] down at the factory Yeah, [A] don't pay much but at least we can eat
I roll up the smoke [C] and I make a new plan These aren't the struggles of a working [Dm] man
Went [A] down to the river [C] just the other day Got down on my knees and [A] began to pray
I said Lord please won't you understand?
[Am] Struggles of this working [D] man These aren't the struggles of a [F] working man
[Dm]
I'll tell you what we need.
We need some paying gigs.
We don't need this messing around first
