[Intro] (Yeah) Alarm rings Same old song Steel toes Get ‘em on [Verse 1] Clock in Dust in my lungs Lunch pail heavy Paycheck crumbs Back sore Boss on my neck Bills in a pile All marked “direct” Late rent Landlord calling my phone Fridge light bright But the shelves all gone Head down Tryna swallow my pride Smile cracked But I still provide [Chorus] [Female] You got payday on your mind But you my gold all the time (all the time) You say you stuck on that grind I see a king in his prime (in his prime) You feel broke down, used I see steel that’s shining through You got working man blues But I got working man love for you [Verse 2] [Male] Hands shake Counting them coins Gas gauge low Praying it joins Old truck coughing Riding on hope Heart keeps hauling When the numbers say “nope” Kids need shoes And they look to me I play strong So they feel free I ain’t perfect I’m just tired and true Every scar on these knuckles Got your name in it too [Pre-Chorus] [Female] You don’t gotta stand so tall For me to see you stand at all Lean that weight right into me Baby, that’s what strong can be (yeah) [Chorus] [Female + Male] You got payday on your mind But you my gold all the time (all the time) You say you stuck on that grind I see a king in his prime (my prime) You feel broke down, used I see steel that’s shining through You got working man blues But I got working man love for you [Bridge] [Male] If I lose this job Do I lose my worth? [Female] You were priceless long Before that first day’s work [Male] What if I fall flat Can’t pull through? [Female] Then I’ll drag that sky Till it fits ‘round you (yeah) [Chorus] [Female + Male] You got payday on your mind But you my gold all the time (You my gold, you my gold) You say you stuck on that grind I see a king in his prime (Stand up, stand up) You feel broke down, used I see steel that’s shining through You got working man blues But I got working man love for you [Outro] [Male] From the night shift To the sunshine [Female] We gon’ cash in On a better time [Both] You got working man blues But I got working man love for you (yeah)
