Work The Grill

Work The Grill

When times’re tough… and the money ain’t enough
Drop yer pride ‘n work the grill
And if that won’t take and bust a man…
Well, my friend, than nothin’ will
‘Cause you’ll work all day fer a dollar’s pay
And a place to just lay still
Pull it in a notch… put away the Scotch
Drop yer pride ‘n work the grill

When yer goin’ nuts… and yer out’a “butts”
Drop yer pride ‘n work the grill
When it seems there’s just no other way
That yer belly’ll ever fill
So you’ll sweat yer way through another day
Goin’ home to a cold beer, still…
To stay on yer feet and make loose ends meet
Drop yer pride ‘n work the grill

When yer work runs out… and yer full o’ doubt
Drop yer pride ‘n work the grill
Now, ya’ know it’s better’n goin’ without
‘Cause ya’ had to pay the bills
So you’ll bust yer back ’till ya’ heart attack
But ya’ know that ya’ cann’t stop still
And when pickin’s thin… and ya’ just cann’t win
Drop yer pride ‘n work the grill

When pickin’s thin… and ya’ just cann’t win…
Drop yer pride ‘n work the grill
