When I get home from work
I'll call up all my friends
And we'll go bust up something beautiful
We'll have to build again
When I get home from work
I'll wrestle off my clothes
And leave em right inside the front door
Cause nobody's home to know
You see a hammer finds a nail
And a freight train needs the rails
And I'm doin what I'm on this earth to do
And I don't think on why I'm here where it hurts
I'm just lucky to have the work
Sunday morning I'm too tired to go to church
But I thank God for the work
When I get my reward
My work will all be done
And I will sit back in my chair beside
The Father and the Son
No more holes to fill
And no more rocks to break
And no more loading boxes onto trucks
For someone else's sake
Cause a hammer needs a nail
And the poor man's up for sell
Guess I'm doing what I'm on this earth to do
I don't think on why I'm here where it hurts
I'm just lucky to have the work
And every night I dream I'm drowning in the dirt
But I thank God for the work
And the day will come
When I'll find a reason
And somebody proud to love a man like me
My back is numb
My hands are freezing
What I'm working for is something more than free
And I don't think on why I'm here where it hurts
I'm just lucky to have the work
Sunday morning I'm too tired to go to church
But I thank God for the work
I thank God for the work
