Grindstone Cowboy

from Tomorrow's World by The Slack 5

/

lyrics

I get up at 6 and get in the van
Get on the road, I'm a hard working man
Weeks and weekends, they are all the same
Get up at 6 and do it all again
Finishing late and then charge up the drills
Do what I do just to pay the bills
I get the job done, do what i've got to do
5 quid and a railcard tucked into my shoe

They call me the grindstone cowboy
I work my fingers to the bone
All that I seem to do is work, work, work, work
They call me the grindstone cowboy 
Can't remember the last time I went home
All that I seem to do is work, work, work, work

Been working real hard, I'm dead on my feet
There's no stopping now, we've got deadlines to meet
Carrying kids who just run off and hide
This isn't a job where you're along for the ride
Pushing along, there's no time for slack 
Got lead in my shoes and an aching back
Don't care if its hot or a rainy day
I won't let nothing get in my way
