Lyrics
WORTH WORKIN' FOR
© 2008 CHASSNER/HARMS
JUST BEFORE SUNRISE GOT SO MUCH TO DO
WAKE THE KIDS, MAKE'EM BREAKFAST, TAKE'EM OFF TO SCHOOL
HEAD TO WORK THE RADIO'S BLASTIN', A SONG PLAYIN' JUST FOR ME
ONE MORE EARLY MORNIN', ONE MORE DAY WORTH WORKIN' FOR
CHORUS:
STRAPPIN' ON MY HARD-HAT, FOR SURE I'LL MAKE IT THROUGH
DON'T MATTER WHAT JOB, I HAVE TO DO
I'M STRONG--AND I CAN TAKE IT--WHEN THE BOSSMAN ASKS FOR MORE
I'M A WOMAN--WITH A FAMILY--THAT'S WORTH WORKIN' FOR
DUSTIN OFF MY OVERALLS--HEADIN' HOME FOR THE NIGHT
HELPIN' OUT WITH HOMEWORK--THINKIN' 'BOUT BETTER TIMES
ONE BY ONE I TUCK 'EM IN--AFTER BED TIME PRAYERS
SET THE ALARM FOR 5 AM--START ALL OVER AGAIN
CHORUS:
BRIDGE:
AIN'T NOTHIN' YOU COULD HAND ME--CAN EVER BREAK ME DOWN
DON'T NEED NO HOT SHOT COWBOY TO TURN MY LIFE AROUND
CHORUS: AND OUT
