My comedian friend Dusty Slay reached out one day and asked me to write a song for his upcoming Netflix special. Dusty is a workin’ man’s comic (hence the name of his special) so Jodi and I started writing without hesitation. We incorporated some things that were directly inspired by Dusty and his life, while pulling from our own experience. Dusty makes comedy for everyday, workin’ people and those are the same people I make country music for. I’m honored to have my song on his first Netflix special. – Jesse

Been workin’ hard, both day and night
Tryin’ to make my way, turn the wrongs to right.
It ain’t a simple job, but I love what I do.
Workin’ hard is all this old boy knows to do.

These hotels and the motels sure don’t feel like home,
Lord knows I’m just a stranger in every town I roam.
Truck stops and highway signs are the only friends I know,
Ain’t no rest for the workin’ man, he’s on the go.

Been workin’ hard, both day and night
Tryin’ to make my way, turn the wrongs to right.
It ain’t a simple job, but I love what I do.
Workin’ hard is all this old boy knows to do.

(Get to work now)

Started out in Alabama in a humble single wide,
I heard those wheels callin’ me, I had to say goodbye.
From Bakersfield to Brooklyn and everywhere between,
Now I’m pushin’ this rig back home to Tennessee.

Been workin’ hard, both day and night
Tryin’ to make my way, turn the wrongs to right.
It ain’t a simple job, but I love what I do.
Workin’ hard is all this old boy knows to do.
