Six A.M. and the coffee's burnt again
Kitchen table office, me and the ceiling fan
Talkin' to the dog 'bout a deal goin' south
Three days straight, ain't a soul to hear my mouth
PRE-CHORUS
So I pull on my boots, hit the street downtown
Ferry blowin' low, sun comin' round
CHORUS
Workhorse — that's where I belong
Room full of tired dreamers gettin' after it
Load's still heavy and the road's still long
But I ain't pullin' it alone
No, I ain't pullin' it alone
VERSE 2
Guy in the corner closin' number three
Whiteboard full of somethin' I will never read
Nobody's the boss and everybody's crew
Somebody cracks a joke when the day turns blue
PRE-CHORUS
Meter's runnin' out, invoice comin' due
But the pot's still hot and the day ain't through
CHORUS
Workhorse — that's where I belong
Room full of tired dreamers gettin' after it
Load's still heavy and the road's still long
But I ain't pullin' it alone
No, I ain't pullin' it alone
BRIDGE
Ain't no easy money
Ain't no easy day
Nobody cares about your feelings
And nobody's gonna care today
So you pull a little harder
When your people pull too —
That ain't a slogan, boys
That's just true
SOLO
(12 bars)
FINAL CHORUS
Workhorse — that's where I belong
Room full of tired dreamers gettin' after it
Load's still heavy and the road's still long
But I ain't pullin' it alone
No, I ain't pullin' it alone
No, I ain't pullin' it alone
