Workingman's Reward

Gimme that Old Spice

I'll play a couple tunes maybe twice

I'll leave by train

Same way I come in

I'll have a hot smoke

And a cold beer

'Fore hittin that soft hay

Workingman's reward at the end of the day

When I come in

It was getting on twilight

Street lights shone bright

Just like it was midnight

Got a job and it's all right

Seein souls take flight

And I'm alive

At the end of the day

Gimme that Old Spice

I'll play a couple tunes maybe twice

I'll leave by train

Same way I come in

I'll have a hot smoke

And a cold beer

'Fore hittin that soft hay

Workingman's reward at the end of the day

Did you hear the one about

The guy who starts runnin

To get back to his baby

He gets so good at the runnin

That the runnin starts takin him

Away from his baby

Gimme that Old Spice

I'll play a couple tunes maybe twice

I'll leave by train

Same way I come in

I'll have a hot smoke

And a cold beer

'Fore hittin that soft hay

Workingman's reward at the end of the day

One tine I painted a masterpiece

I mean Picasso kinda masterpiece

Traded it for a set of keys

For a '57 Chevrolet

I got sideburns to my knees

I got a dog with just 11 fleas

And the sweet birdies in the trees

They sing for me

Gimme that Old Spice

I'll play a couple tunes maybe twice

I'll leave by train

Same way I come in

I'll have a hot smoke

And a cold beer

'Fore hittin that soft hay

Workingman's reward at the end of the day
