Play This Old Working Day Away – Gary Stewart

Here I stand down in a hole with a pipe wrench
Wouldn’t be working here if I had half-sense
One man working, another one sleeping
One guy bitchin’ and another guy keeping the time
It’s 5 O’Clock here come my baby
In a ’65 Mustang waving her hand
Jump in the car, kiss her on the cheek
Head for the tavern as fast as I can
But us a pitcher of beer
Let that jukebox play this old working day away

Here I am standing at the bar with my baby
Here come a redneck, a half-drunk crazy
He got a mad on, and he gotta fight
Baby, I got to run
And I got all night
So I stand up, punched out all over the floor
Tearing up tables from the front to the back
Get up wipe and dust ourselves off
And it hell what a man gotta do to relax
But us a pitcher of beer
Let that jukebox play this old working day away

Here I am standing at the bar with my baby
Here come a redneck, a half-drunk crazy
He got a mad on, and he gotta fight
Baby, I got to run
And I got all night
So I stand up, punched out all over the floor
Tearing up tables from the front to the back
Get up wipe and dust ourselves off
And it hell what a man gotta do to relax
But us a pitcher of beer
Let that jukebox play this old working day away
