I hit the ground runnin' with the morning sun

When a job needs doing I get it done

I show up early and I go home late

Everybody knows I pull my weight    (cause...) 

              D    C 
I don't mind doing  
                D     C 
A little heavy liftin' 
            D     C           D    C 
I'm always givin',   my everything 
               D      C             D      C 
Even when I'm hurtin',   I keep on workin' 
        A       
And as long as I'm still alive and kickin' 
C                 G                D     (C  D  C)<--1st chorus

Oh baby I heard he done you wrong 
     C         G        D           C  G  D 
The going got tough and he got gone 
     C         G       D           C  G  D 
Well he ain't here and I ain't him 
C                 G          A       C 
And even if the walls come fallin in    (you know...)
