Hands of a Working Man

John (Johnny) Kirkland Reid (born August 21, 1974 in Lanark, Scotland, UK) is a country music artist who has charted several hit singles in Canada. Reid moved to Canada in July, 1988 when he was 13. His father, a diesel mechanic, wanted to give Reid and his brother opportunities he did not think they would have in Scotland. Reid went on to attend Bishop's University in Lennoxville, Quebec, where he met his wife (and was a kicker on the varsity football team). He was nominated for the 2008 Juno Award for Country Recording of the Year for Kicking Stones. Reid was named Male Artist of the Year at both the 2008 and 2009 CCMA Awards. He also performed at the Canada Day celebrations on Parliament Hill on July 1, 2010, which the Queen and Prince Philip attended. more »

Early in the morning I'd smell that diesel burning 
And I'd watch him and his old truck go rumbling down the road 

Later on in the evening in the distance I would hear him 
Like lightning I'd go straight out that front door

Into the hands of a working man 
Life was easy for me to understand 
Now looking back I see who I am 
Right there in the hands of a working man

I can still remember it was a cold day in December 
I walked into the kitchen I saw a tear rolling down his face 
He was sitting with my Mother they were leaning on each other 
I listened there she whispered I have faith

In the hands of a working man 
Love was easy for me to understand 
Now looking back I see who I am 
Right there in the hands of a working man

You know the more I see the deeper I believe 
The best place for this world to be 
Is in the hands of a working man 
Where love is easy to understand
Now looking back I see who I am 
Right there in the hands of a working man

This world turns in the hand of a working man
