The Good

You’re a good person
First into the office
Workin to exhaustion nervous
But always cautious and
Burstin with excitement and thirstin
For the worst when
Your boss is
Lurchin for his desserts and
The rumors are like tumors
They’ve got your head hurtin
But you keep from out blurtin
Mouth closed up like a curtain
Ready for paradise
Done workin with the desertion
They’ll all see you’re not worthless
Ears got your brains open
With the notion
Hopin that you’ll be coastin
Cruisin done losin
Towards a new promotion
Boastin
Silently gloatin
Floatin
On thoughts you’re knowin
The words before they’re spoken
And owing all your success
To no one was holdin
Ya hand when you was dopin
Foldin broken chairs
Round the clock for a token
Coats and different hats didn’t match
All the pats on the back
Unless
You were up at the bat
The spits and the spats
Are all fast in the past
Last but not least out comes the beast
With the tease of a sneeze
Belts out and decrees
Everyone’s fired
With 10 minutes to leave

Workin'

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

Workin Man

Sittin alone in the dark,
Wastin my time in a park
cause Ive got nowhere to go.
Had me a job til the market fell out,
Tried hard to borrow but there was no help
Now Ive got nowhere to go.
I need a job for these two hands
Im a workin man
With nowhere to go
One last look at my land
Auctioneer with his gavel in hand
And he says its got to go.
Worked this peice all my life
It broke my heart and it took my wife
Now Ive got nothing to show
I need a job for these two hands
Im a workin man
With nowhere to go
Wandered aimless in the city
With my dirt workin boots and my old straw hat in hand
Singing a song by woody guthrie
This land is your land; it aint my land
Im a workin man, with nowhere to go
I was born to the sunrise
Breaking back all day
Now Ive got something to say
I am broke but not broken
And I am not alone
Cause theres a lot of folks
With nowhere to go
Are they ever gonna understand?
You cant leave a workin man
With nowhere to go.
Are they ever gonna understand?
You cant leave a workin man
With nowhere to go

Workin For A Livin

Chris hayes / huey lewis
Somedays wont end ever and somedays pass on by,
Ill be working here forever, at least until I die.
Dammed if you do, dammed if you dont
Im supposed to get a raise week, you know damn well I wont.
Workin for a livin (workin)
Workin for a livin (workin)
Workin for a livin, livin and workin
Im taking what they giving cause Im working for a livin.
Hey Im not complaining cause I really need the work
Hitting up my buddys got me feeling like a jerk
Hundred dollar car note, two hundred rent.
I get a check on friday, but its all ready spent.
Workin for a livin (workin)
Workin for a livin (workin)
Workin for a livin, livin and workin
Im taking what they giving cause Im working for a livin.
Ooh, workin for a livin
Ooh, taking what they giving
Ooh, workin for a livin
Ooh, ooh
Bus boy, bartender, ladies of the night
Grease monkey, ex-junky, winner of the fight
Walking on the streets its really all the same
Selling souls, rock n roll, any other day
Workin for a livin (workin)
Workin for a livin (workin)
Workin for a livin, livin and workin
Im taking what they giving cause Im working for a livin.
Workin for a livin, livin and workin
Im taking what they giving cause Im working for a livin.
Workin for a livin, livin and workin

Simple As That

(Chapin Hartford)
Out on highway 1, I saw a camper van parked out on the shoulder
Thinkin' they had broken down, I pulled over
There was a little old lady and her old man kickin' back relaxin'
They said "sit down and help us celebrate our golden anniversary"
They had foldin' chairs, they were holdin' hands starin' at the fields
I said "man this ain't no movie, this is real"
Love should be as simple as that
Foldin' chairs, holdin' hands and matching baseball caps
Love is wanting what you have
Love should be as simple as that
They said "stay awhile", I siad "I thought I might and ask some burnin' questions"
Like how'd you make love last so long, they started laughing
He said "to keep our love from danger, I treat her like a stranger"
Courteous, considerate and kind
Love should be as simple as that
Foldin' chairs, holdin' hands and matching baseball caps
Love is wanting what you have
Love should be as simple as that
So I went home and I said "baby, baby listen"
There's something missin' in our lives
She said " I know, I been tryin' to tell you"
We need more communication, an exotic vacation
Big screen tv, redwood jacuzzi
Dinners out, concerts and movies
New kitchen, big addition, a pool, jewelry
Sauna, fish pond and a five acre lawn
I said " get in the camper"
Love should be as simple as that
Foldin' chairs, holdin' hands and matching baseball caps
Love is wanting what you have
Love should be as simple as that
Love should be as simple as that
Love should be as simple as that

Workin’ It Out

Well I've been spendin' my life lookin' for a shoulder
To rest my head when the nights get colder
But the days are gettin' longer and I'm gettin' older
Been long time workin' it out
I been a long time workin' it out I been a long time workin' it out
I been a long time workin' it out I been a long time workin' it out

Now I got a little woman to scrub my floor
Right down the road I got me two or three more
And you know none of them knows about the one next door
I been a long time workin' it out
I been a long time workin' it out...

Well it was late one night when I stole a little money
I bought a couple of things and then gave them to my honey
And the judge said boy if you this that's funny
You got a long time workin' it out
I got a long time workin' it out...
[ guitar ]
Yeah well I look all around me and what do I see
The whole wide world got trouble like me
Between the taxes the missus and the deep blue sea
You'll be a long time workin' it out
We'll be a long time workin' it out...

The Railroad

Up each morning at five oclock,
Seem like the noon-day sun aint never gonna stop.
The work is hard in a railroad yard,
Hey, hey, gotta make it today to punch a time card.
Workin on the railroad.
Chorus
Oh, you know, the railroad is a mighty good line,
Come on and ride the railroad, one more time.
Oh, you know, the railroad is a mighty good line,
Come on and ride the railroad, one more time.
Dirt and sweat, runnin down my back,
Workin on the railroad.
Work all day long up and down the railroad tracks.
Workin on the railroad.
Im a God fearing man, and with many I stand,
Workin on the railroad.
And with God weve been working, all hand in hand.
Workin on the railroad.
Chorus
Oh, you know, the railroad is a mighty good line,
Workin on the railroad.
Come on and ride the railroad, one more time.
Workin on the railroad.
Oh, you know, the railroad is a mighty good line,
Come on and ride the railroad, one more time.

Cruisin Music

(eric carmen)
Get up in the morning
Check out the weather
If it looks like sun
I get my things together
Throw some cutoffs on
Got my tank-top and tennies now
And head for the beach
Well Im drivin down the highway
Losin all my patience
Pushin all the buttons
Tryin to find a station
With a screamin jock
Turnin out my daily ration of
(cruisin music, sure good music)
To put the fun back in summertime
I need some cruisin music to make everything alright
Well Im flyin down the freeway
Floatin like a feather
Ive got my windows rolled down
In the hot summer weather
With my radio up loud
Nothing makes me feel better
Than some good rock n roll
(good good, good rock and roll)
Those suntanned girls
Are lookin outta sight
A beach-drenched chick
Would never get uptight
cause when the sun goes down
Well be dancin through the night and singin
(cruisin music, sure good music)
To put the pop back in summertime
I need some cruisin music to make everythin alright
Its time you heard some happy music
God knows this world could really use a little sunshine
So wont you make mine
(yeah)
You know I need some more of that
(cruisin music, sure good music)
To put the fun back in summertime
I need some cruisin music to make everything alright
(cruisin music, sure good music)
To put the fun back in summertime
I need some cruisin music to make everything alright

Working Up A Sweat

Aw, When you touch there, honey
Makes my blood perspire
You got my body flaming
Like a California fire
Pulsing, pounding, pushing
No longer in control
Heatwave in my brain
Smolder in my soul
You got me workin' up a sweat
Workin' up a sweat
I've been playing all night long
Time I was gettin' home
But I've got no place to get
Spontaneous combustion
Scientific fact
But your approach to friction
An unnatural act
Bells I hear ain't fire drills
I hope you understand
It's a bona fide five alarmer
Melting in my hand
You got me workin' up a sweat
Workin' up a sweat
I've been playing all night long
Time I was gettin' home
But I've got no place to get
Workin' up a sweat
Workin' up a sweat
Workin' up a sweat
Workin' up a sweat
Yeah, yeah
I've been playing all night long
'Bout time I was gettin' home
But I've, ooh
Dante's famed inferno
Was a trip to hell and back
But you and a bottle in a cheap hotel
Screams pyromaniac
Bandages came off today
Really feeling sick
The hardest part's explainin'
All those blisters on my - nose!
Workin' up a sweat
Workin' up a sweat
I've been playing all night long
Time I was gettin' home
But I've got no place to get
Workin' up a sweat
Workin' up a sweat
Workin' up a sweat
Workin' up a sweat
I've been playing all night long
'Bout time I was gettin' home
But I've, ooh
Workin' up a sweat
Workin' up a sweat
Workin' up a sweat
Workin' up a sweat

Working Man

I get up at seven, yeah,
and I go to work at nine.
I got no time for livin'.
Yes, I'm workin' all the time.
It seems to me
I could live my life
a lot better than I think I am.
I guess that's why they call me,
they call me the workin' man.
They call me the workin' man.
I guess that's what I am.
I get home at five o'clock,
and I take myself out a nice, cold beer.
Always seem to be wond'rin'
why there's nothin' goin' down here.
It seems to me
I could live my life

School Day

School days
School days
Dear old golden rule days
Up in the morning and out to school
The teacher is teachin' the golden rule
American history and practical math
Studyin' hard and hopin' to pass
And workin' your fingers right down the bone
The guy behind you won't leave you alone
Ring ring goes the bell
The cook in the lunchroom ready to sell
You're lucky if you can find a seat
You're fortunate if you have time to eat
Back in the classroom open your books
The teacher don't know how mean she looks
Ha ha ha ha ha
Are you ready?
Soon as three o'clock rolls around
You finally lay your burden down
Throw down your books get out of your seat
And down the halls and into the street
Up to the corner and 'round the bend
Right to the juke joint you go in
Drop the coin right into the slot
You gotta hear somethin' that's really hot
With the one you love you're makin' romance
And all day long you've been wantin' to dance
Feelin' the music from head to toe
And round and round and round you go
Hail hail rock and roll
Deliver me from the days of old
Long live rock and roll
The beat of the drums loud and bold
Rock rock rock and roll
The feelin' is there, body and soul

The Whiskey Ain't Workin'

There was a time
I could drink my cares away
And drown out all of the heartaches
That hurt me night and day
When the thought of you
Came crashin' through
I'd have one more
But now the whiskey ain't workin' anymore
CHORUS:
I need one good honky-tonk angel
To turn my life around
That's reason enough for me to lay this ol' bottle down
A woman warm and willin'
That's what I'm lookin' for
'Cause the whiskey ain't workin' anymore
They knew my name
At every bar in town
And they knew all of the reasons
Why I was comin' 'round
'Cause in my mind
Peace I'd find
When they'd start to pour
But now the whiskey ain't workin' anymore
REPEAT CHORUS
Lord the whiskey ain't workin' anymore
That's for sure!

Hey Julie

Verse:
Workin' all day for a mean little man
With a clip-on tie and a rub-on tan
He's got me runnin' 'round the office like a dog around the track
But when I get back home you're always there to rub my back
Chorus:
Hey Julie, look what they're doing to me
Tryin' to trip me up, tryin' to wear me down
Julie, I swear it's so hard to bear it
And I'd never make it through without you around
No, I'd never make it through without you around
Verse:
Hours on the phone makin' pointless calls
I got a desk full of paper that means nothin' at all
Sometimes I catch myself staring into space
Counting down the hours 'til I get to see your face
Chorus
Bridge:
How did it come to be
That you and I must be
Far away from each other every day?
Why must I spend my time
Fillin' up my mind
With facts and figures that never add up anyway
They never add up anyway
Verse:
Workin' all day for a mean little guy
With a bad toupee and a soup-stained tie
He's got me runnin' 'round the office like a gerbil on a wheel
He can tell me what to do, but he can't tell me what to feel

Somewhere to clear my mind, Just Cruisin

Long as you take me there, just cruisin
Somewhere to clear my mind, just cruisin

You Look Familiar

Advice:
When selecting someone to dislike...
If one has a need to have this done.
It is best to choose someone,
Who is not directly connected...
To cause an effect that may upset one's survival.

Many people discriminately dislike others,
For no apparent reason at all.
Only to discover they know someone's sister or brother,
That's related to the one who decides...
Who gets fired or hired.
OR...
A promotion of a known adversary is done,
To make someone's life as miserable as possible.
And the boss just happens to be everyone's cousin.

And...
There is nothing like witnessing someone's eyes pop,
Wide open...
Upon discovering who has been chosen,
To call the shots!

There is nothing like the experience of it.
When one feels a churning in the stomach.
And your mouth opens with jaws ready to drop.
How can anyone not notice you are shocked!

'You look familiar?
Oooooohhh!
Yeahssss...
You have no idea how happy I am 'you' are on my team!
I have just the right project for you.
You and I will be working very closely together.'

And you look around knowing,
You have been negatively exposed.
With a mouth wide open you should have kept closed!

Workin overtime, dedicated to you

Hope you dont disapprove

Workin overtime, dedicated to you
Gonna cross that thin line
Hope you dont disapprove

Got to make a new start

Workin hard
Boy I found a way
To raise the level of my self esteem
When I was just a - girl
I learned how to say
I will be proud I see
A me that will always achieve
One idea can last forever
And heres the only way that I can prove it
Workin overtime, dedicated to you
Gonna cross that thin line
Hope you dont disapprove
cause Im workin overtime
Got to make a new start
cause Im workin overtime
Workin hard
And when you want someone
Ill be there for you
And when you need someone - Im dependable
When your world is falling apart
You can lean on me
And nothing will come between our hearts for all eternaty
One idea can last forever
And heres the only way that I can prove it
Workin overtime, dedicated to you
Gonna cross that thin line
Hope you dont disapprove
cause Im workin overtime
Got to make a new start
cause Im workin overtime
Workin hard
Workin overtime, dedicated to you
Gonna cross that thin line

Just Another Honky

(ronnie lane)
I close my eyes and ignore all the signs
Im walking round in circles
Ive closed my ears and believed my own lies
And break the silence always
I make a lot of words, big storm in the air
All round your hair its blowing
Just leave it be and it will all blow away
The weathers always changing
You can go if you want to
I dont own you, go be wild
Leave my hand, its wide open, sos the door evermore
It hurts me more to think Ill keep you in chains
Than if you were to leave me.
I am what you are and Im running too,
All for the open prairie.
So you can go if you want to
I dont own you, go be wild
Leave my hand its wide open, sos the door forevermore.

Good Advice

Open the window I need some air
So many people and theres such disorder here
Familiar faces found out lies
Turn to the street now I watch the passers by
I wonder what they recognize
And what theyd recommend to fill my days
Possessions start to wear me down
I need some good advice some good advice to wear me down
Im nervous can you help me
Im nervous can you help me
Im nervous can you help me
Im nervous can you help me
Instead they harbor secret thoughts
They break through windows that have twice been locked
I have to walk to wear me out
I need some good advice some good advice to wear me down
Im nervous can you help me
Im nervous can you help me
Im nervous can you help me
Im nervous can you help me
I throw my arms and pray to leave
I gotta head for love like is inside me
My lips press tight so not to drown
I need some good advice some good advice to wear me down
Im nervous can you help me
Im nervous can you help me
Im nervous can you help me
Im nervous can you help me
Give me some good advice to help me along
If I know its true
Give me some good advice to help me along
If I know its true
Give me some good advice to help me along
If I know its true
Im nervous
Give me some good advice to wear me down
