Long As Daddy's Working
Another rundown hotel room
Another wake-up call
Been out here too damn long
And it's coming on fall
Working and sleeping
That's all I do every day
To hear my friends talk
They think I got it made
They ain't handing out this money
I ain't got a damn dime for free
Been giving everything I got
To feed my family
Putting food back home on the table
There's an empty spot in my bed
I could work hard every hour
And would never get ahead
But my babies know there's one thing
That's for certain
Yeah, they ain't ever gotta worry
About hurting
Long as daddy's working
Wipe sweat from my brow
And I think I can't take anymore
But in the back of my mind
I remember just who I'm working for
The good Lord's got my family
And I know they're doing fine
'Cause He's got His job covered
Now it's time that I do mine
They ain't handing out this money
I ain't got a damn dime for free
Been giving everything I got
To feed my family
Putting food back home on the table
There's an empty spot in my bed
I could work hard every hour
And would never get ahead
But my babies know there's one thing
That's for certain
Yeah, they ain't ever gotta worry
About hurting
Long as daddy's working
They ain't handing out this money
I ain't got a damn dime for free
Been giving everything I got
To feed my family
Putting food back home on the table
There's an empty spot in my bed
I could work hard every hour
And would never get ahead
But my babies know there's one thing
That's for certain
Yeah, they ain't ever gotta worry
About hurting
Long as daddy's working
Long as daddy's working
Another wake-up call
Been out here too damn long
And it's coming on fall
Working and sleeping
That's all I do every day
To hear my friends talk
They think I got it made
They ain't handing out this money
I ain't got a damn dime for free
Been giving everything I got
To feed my family
Putting food back home on the table
There's an empty spot in my bed
I could work hard every hour
And would never get ahead
But my babies know there's one thing
That's for certain
Yeah, they ain't ever gotta worry
About hurting
Long as daddy's working

And I think I can't take anymore

But my babies know there's one thing
That's for certain
Yeah, they ain't ever gotta worry
About hurting
Long as daddy's working
Long as daddy's working
