Up every mornin' before the sun

Takin' my lovin' on the run

Breakin' my back till the day is done

I'm gonna punch that time clock and have some fun

Ain't no easy way to get myself out



So-i keep on workin'

like a workin' man do

I gotta buy my baby shoes

I keep on workin'

It's the only thing to do

I make my livin by the sweat of my brow

Oh-workin' just like you-uh



I was raised on the poor side of town

I made my livin' movin' around

I never let no one dog me down

Oh i was taught to stand my ground

Life was always changin'

That's just the way it is



So-i keep on workin'

like a workin' man do

I got to buy my baby shoes

I keep on workin'

It's the only thing to do

I make my livin by the sweat of my brow

Oh-workin' just like you-uh

Oh oh oh oh-i keep on workin'



Ooh-i keep on workin'

like a workin' man do

I got to buy my baby shoes

I keep on workin'

It's the only thing to do

I make my livin by the sweat of my brow



Oh-i keep on workin'

like a workin' man do

I need to buy my baby shoes

I keep on workin'

It's the only thing to do

I make my livin by the sweat of my brow

Oh workin' just like you



Aaah ah ah ah aaah ah ah ah

I keep on workin'-workin'

I keep on workin'-workin'

I keep on workin'-workin'

I keep on workin'-workin'

Uh oh oh oh
