Hard-working Man lyrics

When that whistle blows, sweet relief to my ear I drive back home to you And I pray "lord, send me a sign." "That you're coming soon, to ease my worried mind." When my car door slams, you greet me on the porch And bring me some soup from a can Oh, I need my strength cause I'm going out again It's hard out there for the hard-working man The grind is hard, son, and I won't let you loose Have to sacrifice time like me But I'm working my hardest for you Want you to stay in school and make your family proud I will try, I will try, son, to make up for lost time But bills must always be paid But don't you worry none about lending a hand Cause it's hard out there for the hard-working man I'm a sinner, lord, beyond repair And these hands are replacements for you So I'm praying, "forgive me these crimes." Cause you say that you'll provide and that vengeance is mine But times are tough, the pay is not enough And I'm walking that line of doubt So it's time to draw that line deep in the sand Cause it's hard out there for the hard-working man
