I don't mind working for a livin'
But a piece dies the first time ya clock in
These long hours can be unforgiving
On your neck, your back, and your skin
So I drive, across the Tobin Bridge
To get to work, this can't be all it means to live
And if that bridge should fall
Me my truck and all
Don't ya dredge up my body, the ocean waves will bring me peace
We could use a shoulder
Some strength to stand and work another day
To get the money that pays for our drinkin'
