Verse I
Kissed the bride good-bye this mornin' . . she lay sleepin' with a smile when I went to work
Headin' down the drive feelin' so alive . . walkin' while I buttoned up the shirt
Climbed up in my new Jimmy truck turned the radio up . . what the weatherman had to say
There'd be sunny skies all day when you're willin' there's a way another dollar . . just waitin' to be made
Verse II
I punched the clock in line again before the big boss had arrived
Seem like . . Monday's always rollin' 'round mighty . . quick . . funny Friday's right on time
Hot cup-o-joe help' to get it in gear said good mornin' to the guys
Now how 'as I doin' today they asked . . just fine thanks . . was my re-ply
Chorus
Well I gotta work so I work . . giv'em all I got from sun to sun
But I wanna work so I work always seein' to it that the job gets . . done
Pay no mind to the color of the collar on my shirt . . been givin' what I got . . in every way
So I can stand to say won't ever be no better way like workin' . . and livin' in the U.S.A.
Instrumental Break
Verse III
Hey when the whistle blows it's hit the road at five-o'clock . . I'm headin' home again
There'll be supper on the stove lovin' arms will be waitin' with a kiss . . when I walk in
It'll be Daddy! at the door with a hug and even more . . my little man'll laugh . . make me smile
No the family and me ain't forgettin' to be thankin' God for . . all he provides
Final Chorus
So if ya' work get to work . . giv'em all ya' got from sun to sun
And when ya' work get to work al-ways you be seein' that the job gets done
Pay no mind to the color of the collar on your shirt . . be givin' what ya' got in every way
Then you can stand to say won't ever be no better way like workin' and livin' in the U. S. A.
My friends I dare to say . . won't ever be no better way like workin' and livin' in the U. S. A.
