Working joe


I used to love these lazy winter afternoons;
Starting out too late giving up too soon;
Coming home to coffee and a trashy book;
Never paying any mind if things were never done on
Time was when a fella could just let time slip away;
No worries car or telephone just rent and food to pay;
And every night with single buddies boozing at the bar,
Living for the minute, taking every hour in it!
But now there's just too much to do in any given day;
The car phone the kiddies shoes too many bills to pay;
Running from the crack of dawn 'til Knowlton reads the news,
And falling into bed too wiped to even kiss the wife good night.
Oh, oh, oh...just another working Joe.
The baby's in the Swingomatic, singing Rock and Roll;
My Sweetie's in the kitchen, whipping up my favourite casserole.
I knocked off work at ten o'clock, the kids are still at school.
The coffee pot is perking...to hell with bloody working.
Oh, it sure is sweet to sit at home and let time slip away,
Through tomorrow I'll be scratching through another working day;
But when I start to come apart from all the things to do,
I know that I'll be taking soon another lazy winter afternoon.
Oh, oh, oh...just another working Joe

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Stan Rogers (1949-1983) was a highly talented and sensitive Canadian singer-songwriter. Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Rogers began his musical career in the 1970s, quickly gaining popularity for his folk songs that told stories of everyday life, seafaring, and Canadian traditions. His warm and reassuring voice, combined with his unmistakable acoustic guitar sound, made him one of Canada's most beloved singer-songwriters. Rogers released several successful albums, including "North Country Blues" (1978) and "Fogarty's Cove" (1980), which feature classic songs like "The Mary Ellen Carter", "Barrett's Privateering", and "Northwest Passage". His music helped to spread Canadian culture worldwide, leaving a lasting musical legacy. Rogers died tragically in 1983 at the age of 34, but his music continues to be listened to and enjoyed by generations of fans.
