Lyrics
I go to work on Monday, 9 to 5 Tuesday morning comes, man, I’m barely alive. Wednesday, Thursday, mess with my head. Sometimes it just don’t pay to get out of bed. But when payday comes, one thing I know for sure is I’m a little less poor than I was before. All I’ve ever been is a working man. I drive a pickup truck; I drink beer in a can. I might never be rich; I might not make the scene. I’m not even sure what that really means. I do my straight 40 and when I hit the door, I’m a little less poor than I was before. CHORUS A little less poor, a little more green. I’m makin’ bacon, no more Sizzlelean. This ain’t a Rockefeller knockin’ at your door, But I’m a little less poor than I was before. I may not be young, but I’m willing and able And I’m just the country boy to drink you under the table. Working all week builds a powerful thirst. But I’ve got to stop back at my house first. ‘cause when my baby says she loves me as I walk through the door, I’m a little less poor than I was before. CHORUS 2X I do my straight 40, and when I hit the door…. When payday comes, one thing I know for sure is….
