Well the world gonna turn and sun gonna shine
The river gonna flow but the creek gone dry
It's hell getting old when it's hot in the shade
I hate to go to work but I gosta get paid
When the days done I'm gonna bring it home
Pour up some wine and put an old time record on
Working on love to the break of dawn
Daddy swings the hammer to the rhythm of an old song
Well my boat don't run and the fish don't bite
But I'll be coming home girl to you Sunday night
Baby's in the kitchen in a black bandanna
She said some things need fixing so it's time to swing the hammer
There's a full moon in the woods tonight I'll be at home just putting in over time working on love till the break of dawn daddy's swings the hammer to the rhythm of an old song
Well my little Mama knows I'm a hard working man
She lets me swing the hammer any time that I can
Got me working around the clock on them sweet honey do's
Just nailing down a beat to the rhythm and blues
And when it's all over I'm gonna start again feeling your rhythm as an old time vinyl spins working on love till the break of dawn daddy's swings the hammer to the rhythm of an old song yea the rhythm of an old song
