	Lyrics Workin’ Man words & music by Jim Ricci [v1] they’re cutting back on the overtime, too many guys around been praying for a big one to bring them power lines down what I bring home is what I share and that’s a hard earned pay and if im lucky, with the spare, we can save some of it away wintry morning light, it brings another day it won’t get more than 22 or so they say and I feel every bone tremble ‘neath the fury of the wind way up high above this sleepy town…don’t look down…don’t look down [ch] she’s headin’ off to school he’s following his dreams and you ain’t been feeling much like yourself…or so it seems [v2] the take-home, it don’t go as far as I once remember babe, guess we’ll have to put off that new car until next December [instrumental verse] [bridge] for goin’ on thirty years my collar’s been brown and blue for goin’ on thirty years I’ve paid more than my dues for goin’ on thirty years all I’ve said is true and for goin’ on thirty years I’ve done it all for you [v3] they offered me a deal but it ain’t the right time to break free of this company so it can save a dime but lettin’ loose is tempting when you’ve had all that you can stand hey, babe, what about retirement…wouldn’t that be grand [chorus] but she’s headin’ off to school and he’s following his dreams and you ain’t been feeling much like yourself…or so it seems [v4] babe, you and me, we could fly to Tuscany or we could just stay home but I’ve always wanted to see the sun set from the other side of the ocean in a little town just north of Rome and I hear the water’s like crystal in Santa Margherita and the air’s oh so fair babe, if I put in a few more years we just might get there we just might get there we just might get there © 2002 James Ricciuti.
