Premium Member Stoved-Up Man

Stoved-up city
  I’m a stoved-up man
I keep on movin’ 
  Just as best I can
Joints are achin’
  And my bones do creak
My hands are shakin’
  And I feel so weak

I’m a stoved-up man ...
  Do the best I can ...
I’m a stoved-up man ...
  Do the best I can  ...

I’m a stoved-up man
   Workin’ hard all day 
 Do the best I can
   Just to make my pay
Try to make ends meet
   It’s so hard to do
I refuse to cheat
   Stay forever true

I’m a stoved-up man ...
  Do the best I can ...
I’m a stoved-up man ...
  Do the best I can ... 

I’m a stoved-up man
  When my day is through
I hurry on home
  To spend time with you
You’re the only one
  I think about all day
I wouldn’t have it
  Any other way

I’m a stoved-up man ...
  Do the best I can ...
Try to make ends meet ...
  I refuse to cheat ...
It’s so hard to do ...
  Stay forever true ...
I’m a stoved up man ...
  I’m a stoved-up man …
