Hard Working Man
Willie Nelson

Verse 1:
Woke up early, the sun ain't shinin',
Coffee's brewin', got no time for whinin',
Put on my boots, head out that door,
Gotta earn a livin', can't be late for sure.

Chorus:
I'm a hard working man, with calloused hands,
Give my all, each day, for my family plans,
But it's hard to find a smile, when the days are long,
Sometimes I feel unappreciated, yeah, that’s my song.

Verse 2:
Lunchbox packed, got dreams in my pocket,
But when I come home, it feels like a lockin',
Kiddos need me, while my wife kinda sighs,
When you work so hard, it's hard to realize.

Chorus:
I'm a hard working man, with calloused hands,
Give my all, each day, for my family plans,
But it's hard to find a smile, when the days are long,
Sometimes I feel unappreciated, yeah, that’s my song.

Bridge:
I just want a moment, to catch my breath,
To feel the love, before I’m out of step,
But the weight of the world can be a heavy load,
And sometimes I wonder if I'm on the right road.

Verse 3:
Still, I press on, through the sweat and the tears,
For my little ones, I’ll conquer my fears,
With every paycheck, I hope they can see,
The man I am, and who I strive to be.

Chorus:
I’m a hard working man, with calloused hands,
Give my all, each day, for my family plans,
But it's hard to find a smile, when the days are long,
Sometimes I feel unappreciated, yeah, that’s my song.

Outro:
Yeah, I’m a hard working man, that’s my story,
Finding my way through the struggle and the glory,
And though I feel tired, and sometimes so blue,
I’ll keep on giving my best, for my family too.
