A
Every morning I get up before that rooster crows
Heading straight to somewhere I dont even want to go
D
Eggs and bacon in my belly and a Folgers coffee buzz
A
Good ol radar detector it protects me from the fuzz
E
Well, I do what I gotta do to get through working that 9 to 5
G                                 D
Its killing me but then again its keeping me alive

Chorus
A
It puts the gas in my truck, butter on my biscuits,
A couple bucks when Im itching for a scratch-off ticket
D
That poker makes me broker every Saturday night
A
I still got running water and they aint cut off the lights
E
Come Friday night, My friends and I start peeling off them labels
G                     D                  A
Working hard all week puts beer on the table

A
Eighteen bucks an hour and a million dollar tan
Women whistle at me while Im working for the man
D
Making me some cold hard cash out in that summer sun
A
Come Friday Ill have money but by Monday Ill have none
E
Once the bills are paid and that bass boat tank has gone from E to F
G                                 D
I fill that big ol cooler up there aint a whole lot left

A
Well, I got gas in my truck, butter on my biscuits,
A couple bucks when Im itching for a scratch-off ticket
D
That poker makes me broker every Saturday night
A
I still got running water and they aint cut off the lights
E
Come Friday night, My friends and I start peeling off them labels
G                              D  
Working hard all week puts the beer on the table   A


G   D              A    
Oh, oh, Im a simple man, yes I am
G            D                      E
All I needs a few good friends and a good job,
                     G
And a good dog, maybe a woman that understands

A
A little gas in my truck, some butter on my biscuits,
A couple bucks when Im itching for a scratch-off ticket
D
That poker makes me broker every Saturday night
  A
I still got running water and they aint cut off the lights
     E
Come Friday night, My friends and I start peeling off them labels
      G                D                  
Working hard all week, yeah, puts the beer on the table
A        D           A
Puts the beer on the table
A
Would you pass me another one of them cold cans?  D      A
