Every morning I get up before that rooster crows

Heading straight to somewhere I don't even want to go

Eggs and bacon in my belly and a Folger's coffee buzz

Good ol' radar detector it protects me from the fuzz

Well I do what I gotta do to get

Through working that 9 to 5

It's killing me but then again

It's keeping me alive

It puts the gas in my truck butter on my biscuit

Couple bucks when I'm itching for a scratch-off ticket

That poker makes me broker every Saturday night

But I still got running water

And they ain't cut off the lights

Come Friday night My friends

And I start peeling off them labels

Working hard all week puts beer on the table

Eighteen bucks an hour and a million dollar tan

All them women whistle at me

While I'm working for the man

Making me some cold hard cash out in that summer sun

Come Friday I'll have money but by Monday

I'll have none

Once the bills are paid

And that bass boat tank has gone from E to F

I fill that big ol' cooler up there ain't a whole lot left

But I got gas in my truck butter on my biscuit

Couple bucks when I'm itching for a scratch-off ticket

That poker makes me broker every Saturday night

But I still got running water

And they ain't cut off the lights

Come Friday night my friends

And I start peeling off them labels

Working hard all week puts the beer on the table

Oh oh I'm a simple man yes I am

All I need is a few good friends

And a good job

And a good dog

Maybe a woman that understands

And a little gas in my truck

Some butter on my biscuit

A couple bucks

When I'm itching for a scratch-off ticket

That poker makes me broker every Saturday night

But I still got running water

And they ain't cut off the lights

Come Friday night my friends

And I start peeling off them labels

Working hard all week yeah

Puts the beer on the table

Ho Ha Puts the beer on the table

Y'all pass me another one of them cold cans
