Merle Haggard — Five Days a Week

Five days a week, all week long I work my fingers to the bone And if I get laid off, another job I'll seek 'Cause I'm a blue-collar man And work all I can five days a week Five days a week, eight hours a day And then the weekend's mine And I can blow my mind or kneel and pray When I was just fifteen, I had to earn my keep 'Cause I'm a blue-collar man Workin' all I can five days a week Five days a week, eight hours a day And then the weekend's mine And I can blow my mind or kneel and pray Life ain't free, you got to earn your keep If you're a blue-collar man You work all you can five days a week
