Lyrics of and My Thoughts on "Workin'"

(comments in italics)

Skynyrd's newest single, this song IMHO should be number one on the top 40 charts, but Skynyrd isn't the prettiest or youngest band so of course it's not.  Talent hasn't mattered in the music industry for quite some time.  It's so addicting and the three guitar attack grabs you and doesn't let you go for five minutes.  The song opens with, what's this, a maraca?  Then come the guitars and Johnny:

Up every mornin' before the sun
Takin' my lovin' on the run.
Breakin' my back till the day is done.
I'm gonna punch that time clock and have some fun.
There's no easy way to get myself out,

Chorus:
So I keep on workin',
Like a workin' man do.
I got to buy my baby shoes.
I keep on workin',
It's the only thing to do
I make my livin' by the sweat of my brow,
Oh workin' just like you.

I was raised on the poor side of town,
I made my livin' movin' around.
I never let no one dog me down,
I was taught to stand my ground
Life was always changin', that's just the way it is,

Chorus
Ah ah ah, I keep on workin'!
Some amazing guitar solos, then the chorus is repeated twice.

Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah
I keep on workin', workin,' workin,'
I keep on workin', workin,' workin,'
Repeated as the guitars go nuts and the song closes.
