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
