By the sweat of his brow is how a mans supposed to earn his pay

Think manual labor aint nothing but a mexican

Who swam the rio grande
G D
Manual Labor that old back breaker him
D G
Sure knows how to make a fool out of folks like me
G D
It throws your muscle in hustle and it numbs your brain
D G
Then it hauls you off down the tracks like a run away train
[Chorus]
C G
Oh manual labor you, you old back breaker you
D D
I must have mistaken you, for a true blue friend you've never been
C G
My youth and my good time spent, dont know where my money went
D D
I like how the government, got more than their share oh well who cares
C G
Im a gettin on a holy road, send a dollar to a TV show
D D
God knows how the money goes, when your saving a soul, big save-on soul
