HARD WORKING MAN
(Jack Nitzsche/Paul Schrader/Ry Cooder)

got a two-ton hammer
got beat by the pound
I'm a hard work driving man
six foot solid from the ground

work my hammer for the factory
foreman always wanna fight
swallowed-up some TV dinner
swing my hammer strong at night

when I was a schoolboy
teachers said studys hard as you can
it didn't make no difference
I'm just a hard work driving man
