     G
When I get home from work
     C              G  
I'll call up all my friends
    G/F#    Em               C               G
And we'll go bust up something beautiful we'll have to build again


When I get home from work
I'll wrestle off my clothes
And leave em right inside the front door 'cause nobody's home to know


Chorus 1:
          D 
You see a hammer finds a nail
      C                       G
And a freight train needs the rails
        D                               Am
And I'm doin' what I'm on this earth to do
            Em               D                  C  
And I don't think on why I'm here where it hurts
C                          Em   D  C
I'm just lucky to have the work
       Em              D              C 
Sunday morning I'm too tired to go to church
                        Em   D  C
But I thank God for the work


When I get my reward 
My work will all be done
And I will sit back in my chair beside the father and the son

No more holes to fill 
And no more rocks to break
And no more loading boxes on the trucks for someone else's sake

Chorus 2:
'Cause a hammer needs a nail
And the poor man's up for sale
Guess I'm doin' what I'm on this earth to do
And I don't think on why I'm here where it hurts
I'm just lucky to have the work
And every night I dream I'm drowning in the dirt
But I thank God for the work


Bridge:
                 D                     C  
And the day will come when I'll find a reason
             D                        C  
And somebody proud to love a man like me
           D                  C
My back is numb, my hands are freezing
         D                                  C
What I'm working for is something more than free


            Em               D                  C  
And I don't think on why I'm here where it hurts
C                          Em   D  C
I'm just lucky to have the work
            Em              D              C 
Well Sunday morning I'm too tired to go to church
                        Em   D  C
But I thank God for the work 

                    G
I thank God for the work
