Man With a Hammer

Tired; tired from today's honest work Getting to know my young labor at hand Simple materials, nothing to hurt Old dew dried in the sun, laid in the sand Stir; stir in my spirits, shake off that dust Early rise to toil; got to make that buck Build me a new wall, build me some new trust Sort out those nails find one tall in the ruck Enough with the grinding, ways of the old Find me a new way to shoulder the load Its time to get moving, time to get bold Take leave darn shadow and all you may bode I've got verve in vows and wide eyes to show Big hammer, time to rock, rattle and row
