I'm holdin The Hands of a workin man
He's makin a livin and doin the best he can

I feel the soft touch, the skin split & rough
I feel the gentle power of a man tall & tough
From a baby in the crib, now's he's walkin me to school
He had hands like a giant, callused from hammers & tools

I'm holdin The Hands of a workin man
He's makin a livin and doin the best he can

He taught me how to work & how to hunt
Taught me how to fish and how to drive a truck
Taught me to be honest & not to cheat or lie
Cuz with these hands of steel he'd tan your backside

I'm feelin the hands of a workin man
He's makin a livin and doin the best he can
He has his way that sometimes I don't understand
I'm feelin the hands of a workin man

As a young man I was defiant, ornery & loud
I did so many things that made him less than proud
Still he gave me all the things that he never had
He made tremendous sacrifice, yeah that's my Dad

I'm lookin at the hands of a workin man
He's makin a livin and doin the best he can
He has his way that I don't always understand
I'm lookin at the hands of a workin man

He stood beside me thru tough times, troubles and bein a fool
Thru fights, drugs, arrests and gettin kicked out of school
He supported me thru college & the path I chose
In marriage and raisin a family, I needed his direction God knows

The years have gone by & the fire in him subside
He's withered down & frail and it makes me wanna cry
But he's more of a man than I'll ever be
He's a giant, the biggest man the biggest man to me

I'm holdin the hands of a workin man
He's  made his livin and doin the best he can
He has his way that now I understand
I'm holdin the hands of a workin man
