Morning comes before I'm ready House still dark, mind already heavy Caffeine's fast, but hits too slow Tie my boots like I already know
Bills sit quiet on the table I don't read 'em, but I feel 'em Take one breath before I go Carry more than I ever show
I don't talk about the pressure I just move through it
Sometimes it's heaven Sometimes it's hell Some days I'm steady Some days I'm holdin' my breath
I keep on movin' Even when I'm tired Try to stand straight While the ground moves under fire
I'm a workin' man Yeah, I'm a workin' man
Phone lights up in the quiet hours Same old numbers, different power Every answer has a cost Every win feels almost lost
Kids asleep, the hallway glows I stop right there, don't let 'em know If I'm strong or if I'm thin If I'm barely holdin' it in
I don't show it But it's there
Sometimes it's heaven Sometimes it's hell Some nights I'm sure Some nights I can't tell
I keep on movin' Even when it burns Try to stay upright While the whole world turns
I'm a workin' man Yeah, I'm a workin' man
I don't need praise I don't need proof Just need to know I'm still tellin' the truth
If I bend low If I don't win Let it be known I showed up again
Sometimes it's heaven Sometimes it's hell Sometimes I'm fine Sometimes I'm not doin' well
Still I'm movin' Still I stand Tryin' to live right As a workin' man Yeah I'm a workin' man Yeah I'm a workin' man
Morning comes, lace 'em tight Same old road, different light If they ask who I am Tell 'em this I'm a workin' man
