LYRICS: (Copyright: Jessie Veeder/Ranch Girl Publishing)
Work girl, show me your muscles
Work girl, pull back your hair
Work girl, the day is long
Work ain’t going no where
You might be born to be a sinner
Might be born to be a saint
Might be born to save each other
Weren’t born with money in the bank
Picking rocks and raising babies
Pennies heads up on the street
Muddy boots and no complaining
Gotta keep shoes on their feet
Work girl, show me your muscles
Work girl, pull back your hair
Work girl, the day is long
Work ain’t going nowhere
When I fall I get back up
Taught myself to drive this truck
It rains, it shines on all this dirt
Pull on your pants girl get to work
We can’t be raised to wait for the day
Someone to show us what’s right
Car is broke, girl you fix it
Can’t fix it, go get your bike
Trees need trimming
Get the chainsaw
Garden’s planted horses fed
Monday comes you button up girl
9 to 5 and 5 ‘till bed
Work girl, don’t wait for no man
Work girl, can’t do what you can
Work girl, saw nail and grind
Work, go build you a life
When I fall I get back up
Taught myself to drive this truck
It rains it shines on all this dirt
Pull on your pants girl, get to work
He can lift it
You can push it
Thinks he knows
Well so do you
Get some wire and make the lights work
Climb that ladder, get the tools
Work girl, show me your muscles
Work girl, pull back your hair
Work girl, the day is long
Work ain’t going no where
Work girl, don’t wait for no man
Work girl, he can’t do what you can
Work girl, saw nail and grind
Work, go build you a life
Work girl, the clock is ticking
Work girl, go cut a path
Work girl, you hear them talking
Work girl, go kick some ass
