(Gary Nicholson/Craig Wiseman)



I'm up and out the door before the sun comes up

Spillin' coffee, banging gears in my pickup truck

Racing every red light, getting to the jobsite

Bossman hollerin', boys you're burnin' daylight

Sweatin' through a hard hat lunch in a brown sack

Swing a hammer all day tryin' to get the bills paid



Oh Oh, just a working man makin' his way

Oh Oh, but you'll never hear me complain

There's a whole lot to it but I gotta get through it

So I'll do it til i get it done

Just a day in the life of an 8 to 5, get it right

Nail drivin' law abidin' hard workin' son of a gun



Yeah when 5 o'clock come I'm burnin' up the road

Haul it home shower down slick it up gotta go

There's a roadside dancehall just about nightfall

That's the place to be y'all women waitin' wall to wall

Wearin' out the two step maybe learn a new step

Crawlin' home by daylight get back to the jobsite



Oh Oh, just a working man makin' his way

Oh Oh, but you'll never hear me complain

There's a whole lot to it but I gotta get through it

So I'll do it til i get it done

Just a day in the life of a dance floor dynamo

Honky Tonk Romeo, 8 to 5 get it right nail drivin'

Law abidin' good timin' hard workin

Easy lovin' son of a gun



Oh Oh, just a working man makin' his way

Oh Oh, but you'll never hear me complain

I know I'm burnin' both ends again and again

But a man's gotta have his fun

Another day in the life of a dance floor dynamo

Honky Tonk Romeo, 8 to 5 get it right nail drivin'

Law abidin' good timin' hard workin

Easy lovin' son of a gun



Another day in the life of a dance floor dynamo

Honky Tonk Romeo, 8 to 5 get it right nail drivin'

Law abidin' good timin' hard workin

Easy lovin' son of a gun
