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
