[Verse 1] I clock in every mornin’, sun still hidin’ low, Punch that same ol’ number, watch the whistle blow. The work is hard, the days are long, But the bills pile higher than the songs I’ve sung. [Chorus – Harmony] More than two weeks pay, Is what I’m dreamin’ of someday. What I spend and what I save, Never catch up, just fall away. Oh Lord, give this workin’ man More than two weeks pay. [Verse 2] I see the foreman smilin’, boss man drives away, In a brand-new Cadillac, I’m countin’ down the days. It’s nickel here and dime there gone, By payday night it don’t last long. [Chorus – Harmony] More than two weeks pay, Is what I’m dreamin’ of someday. What I spend and what I save, Never catch up, just fall away. Oh Lord, give this workin’ man More than two weeks pay. [Bridge] I ain’t askin’ for a fortune, just a little room to breathe, To see my kids grow happy, not just barely make ends meet. [Final Chorus – Big Harmony] More than two weeks pay (more than two weeks pay), Is what I’m dreamin’ of someday. What I spend and what I save, Never catch up, just fall away. Oh Lord, hear this workin’ man— Give me more than two weeks pay.
