[Intro] (slow blues guitar, warm organ swell) [Verse 1] Sun comes up ‘fore I hit the ground Boots by the door, yeah they’re worn down Same old truck, takes a little prayer But it gets me where I gotta get [Verse 2] Hands stay rough, yeah they tell the truth Ain’t no lie in the work I do I don’t need no silver or fame Just a little fire and a family name [Pre-Chorus] Yeah it ain’t much, but it’s mine And I earned every dollar, every dime [Chorus] This is workin’ man’s gold Sweat on my back, dirt on my soul Ain’t it funny how the simple things shine When you give ‘em your time I don’t need no big city lights Just a porch and a Friday night Yeah this life might never get old This is workin’ man’s gold [Verse 3] Lunch break shade by an oak tree line Talkin’ ‘bout nothin’ with a friend of mine Radio plays that old song Makes a hard day feel less long [Pre-Chorus] Yeah we laugh, yeah we bleed But we got all we really need [Chorus] This is workin’ man’s gold Sweat on my back, dirt on my soul Ain’t it funny how the simple things shine When you give ‘em your time I don’t need no big city lights Just a porch and a Friday night Yeah this life might never get old This is workin’ man’s gold [Bridge] (stripped, soulful) Ain’t no dollar gonna buy this peace Ain’t no road gonna set me free It’s right here in these calloused hands In the life I live, the man I am [Final Chorus] (full band, gospel lift) This is workin’ man’s gold Every mile, every story told Every scar’s just a part of the shine Of this life of mine I don’t need no big city lights Just a porch and a Friday night Yeah this life might never get old This is workin’ man’s gold [Outro] (guitar bends, organ fades) Yeah it ain’t much… But it’s gold…
