It seems to me I could live my life A lot better than I think I am I guess that's why they call me They call me the workin' man They call me the workin' man I guess that's what I am I get up at seven, yeah And I go to work at nine

Slowly down the hall of fame (fame, fame) That's what you get for sleeping with the enemy Where angels fly you won't play For my big mouth, my big name Around this town you've ceased to be So guess who's gonna take the blame I'll put on my shoes while

I'm prolly not what you thought Guess I don't know what to say I leave it all on the stage Look, people ask me what the future is All I know is I'll be doin' this All I know is things are moving quick That's convenient for me 'cause that’s how I live Now

They call me the workin' man I guess that's what I am It seems to me I could live my life A lot better than I think I am I guess that's why they call me I get up at seven, yeah And I go to work at nine I got no time for livin'
