The Working Man

You can put me on a rig

You can put me on a freight dock

Put a hammer in my hand

I'll give it all I've got

It's just what I do

It ain't hard to understand

You can change the tools

But you can't change the working man

You can sew an old patch on

With a company and a name

It may read a little different

Inside, I'm still the same

It's just what I do

It ain't hard to understand

You can change the tools

But you can't change the working man

Whatever it takes, it just does

Living on a dream in a cloud of dust

Riding out is just what I do

Wish I could stay to tell the truth

It may seem cold, but when I get old

You'll know I made a stand

You can change the tools

But you can't change the working man

Whatever it takes, it just does

Living on a dream in a cloud of dust

Riding out is just what I do

I wish I could stay to tell the truth

It may seem cold, but when I get old

You'll know I made a stand

You can change the tools

But you can't change the working man

Oh, you can change the tools

But you can't change the working man

You can put me on a rig

You can put me on a freight dock

Put a hammer in my hand

I'll give it all I've got
