Work Song from Shotgun Pillowcase by Terry Lee Hale

Work Song

Standing around just looking, never been known to help
Sometimes you’ve got to bend over friend
Reach down and help yourself
Roll up your sleeves

Way too damn much whining, nothing but a waste of time
It’s life, you’ve got to gamble, spend 2 maybe get you 5
Roll up your sleeves

School book education, lessons learned out on the streets
I wonder if it really matters
Still gotta find what you need
Roll up sleeves (2x)

Do a lot of doing nothing,
But that's something I’m told
Don’t be afraid of hard luck
you’ll find what you can hold

Talk about your need to do
You talk about your need to go
Just more words and blah, blah
Still gotta move your butt to go
Roll up your sleeves (3x)

And work,
Going to have to
Need a little, want a little
Have to have
Want to have to

I am not the one to point fingers
I'm the worst of the lot
Clearly see what isn't there
Exactly what I haven’t got

Repeat 2nd verse

And work
Gotta have
Want to have
Have to have
Want to have
Gotta have
I want to have
Need a little
Want a little
