Song Lyrics

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
There's no easy way to get myself out

So I keep on workin'
Like a workin' man do
I need to buy my baby shoes
I keep on workin'
Oh, it's the only thing to do
I make my livin' by the sweat of my brow
Oh, workin' just like you, uhh

I was raised on the poor side of town
I made my livin' movin' around
I never let no one dog me down
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 need to buy my baby shoes
I keep on workin'
Oh, it's the only thing to do
I make my livin' by the sweat of my brow
Oh, workin' just like you, uhh
Oh, I keep on workin'

Ooh, I keep on workin'
Like a workin' man do
I need to buy my baby shoes
I keep on workin'
Oh, 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'
Well, it's the only thing to do
I make my livin' by the sweat of my brow
Oh, workin' just like you

Ahh ah, ahh ah
I keep on workin', I keep on workin'
I keep on workin', I keep on workin'
I keep on workin', oh, I keep on workin'
Workin' just like you, oh, just like you

Edward C. King, Ronnie Van Zant
