Wake up Darlin', I've gotta go
The boss just called an' he's got me a load

Pick-up in Texas, drop-off in Maine
Then I'll deadhead back home to you again
Well, I hope you understand and miss me too
I'm just workin' for the man an' me an' you

There's something about the way he shakes my hand
And says, 'Man, thank you'
And my paycheck reflects his gratitude
And that's enough with your sweet love
To keep these wheels a turnin'
Down the road of life and on the highway too
While I'm workin' for the man an' me an' you

Hello Darlin', I had to call
I'm just a mile outside of Arkansas

And I was thinkin', when I get home
About making love to you all night long
But I'll hold you with my heart until I do
An' keep workin' for the man an' me an' you

There's something about the way he shakes my hand
And says, 'Man, thank you'
And my paycheck reflects his gratitude
And that's enough with your sweet love
To keep these wheels a turnin'
Down the road of life and on the highway too
While I'm workin' for the man an' me an' you
Down the road of life and highway too
I'm just workin' for the man an' me an' you
