Zane Williams - Tired of Gettin' By Lyrics
The hands of a working man built this townCleaned up this timber an plowed this groundRaised those cattle in the sun and snowDamned that river and dug that coalIt's a debt we owe to the hands of a workin' manNow my ganddad had 'em and my daddy does tooBack home there ain't much else to doYou put food on th stable and you fill up the tankPay what you owe to the boys at the bankLive another day thanks to the hands of a workin' manWorkin' hard from the sun up to the sun downThey can build it tall, they can tear it on downThey got the know-how if you've got the moneyHit you hard as a hammer if you pick a fightBut they'd rather hold a pretty girl tight tonightThey're the rough and dirty, strong and sturdyHands of a workin' manNow the hands of a workin' man look kind of funnyStickin' outta white shirt sleeves on SundayThey're more at home holdin' a rod and a reelNine pound hammer or a steering wheelThere's leather and steel in the hands of a Workin' manWorkin' hard from the sun up to the sun downThey can build it tall, they can tear it on downThey got the know-how if you've got the moneyHit you hard as a hammer if you pick a fightBut they'd rather hold a pretty girl tight tonightThey're the rough and dirty, strong and sturdyHands of a workin' manRough and hard, scuffed and scarredFrom the front lines to the old freight yardsWe have what we have'Cause they are the way they areWorkin' hard from the sun up to the sun downThey can build it tall, they can tear it on downThey got the know-how if you've got the moneyHit you hard as a hammer if you pick a fightBut they'd rather hold a pretty girl tight tonightThey're the rough and dirty, strong and sturdyHands of a workin' man
