|
Every morning I get up before that rooster crows
|
Headed straight to somewhere I don't even want to go
|
Eggs and bacon in my belly and a Folger's coffee buzz
|
Good ol' radar detector it protects me from the fuzz
|
Well I do what I gotta do to get through working that 9 to 5
|
It's killing me but then again it's keeping me alive
|
|
It puts the gas in my truck, butter on my biscuits,
|
Couple bucks when I'm itchin', for a scratch-off ticket
|
That poker makes me broker every Saturday night
|
But I still got running water and they ain't cut off the lights
|
Come Friday night my friends and I start peeling off them labels
|
Working hard all week puts beer on the table
|
|
Eighteen bucks an hour and a million dollar tan
|
All them women whistle at me while I'm working for the man
|
Making me some cold hard cash out in that summer sun
|
Come Friday I'll have money but by Monday I'll have none
|
Once the bills are paid and that bass boat tank has gone from E to F
|
I fill that big ol' cooler up there ain't a whole lot left
|
|
But I got gas in my truck, butter on my biscuits,
|
Couple bucks when I'm itchin', for a scratch-off ticket
|
That poker makes me broker every Saturday night
|
But I still got running water and they ain't cut off the lights
|
Come Friday night my friends and I start peeling off them labels
|
Working hard all week puts the beer on the table
|
|
Ohhhh, wohhhh, I'm a simple man, yes I am
|
All I need is a few good friends and a good job,
|
And a good dog, maybe a woman that understands
|
|
An' a little gas in my truck, some butter on my biscuits,
|
Couple bucks when I'm itchin', for a scratch-off ticket
|
That poker makes me broker every Saturday night
|
But I still got running water and they ain't cut off the lights
|
Come Friday night my friends and I start peeling off them labels
|
Working hard all week yeah, puts the beer on the table, oh, ah
|
Puts the beer on the table
|
|
Why don't 'cha'll pass me a'nother one of 'dem cold cans?
