[Verse 1]
Wake up, darling, I've gotta go
The boss just called and 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 working for the man and me and you

[Chorus]
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-turning
Down the road of life and on the highway too
While I'm working for the man and me and you

[Fiddle Solo]

[Verse 2]
Hello darling, I had to call
I'm just a mile outside of Arkansas
And I was thinking, when I get home
About making love to you all night long
But I'll hold you with my heart until I do
And keep working for the man and me and you
[Chorus]
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 the wheels a-turning
Down the road of life and on the highway too
While I'm working for the man and me and you
Down the road of life and highway too
I'm just working for the man and me and you
