Start with the vocals. Four-part harmony running from the first verse to the final chorus. Then there’s the songs themselves. Smartly crafted and emotionally mature,surprising from a new band that writes all its own material.

The musicianship is world class. The arrangement, tighter than Tupperware. The production, well, let’s just say it more than measures up. All this from a 14-month old band. On September 25, Whiskey Falls' debut album will revolutionize the music community. Will you be part of that revolution?

WORKING MAN
Whiskey Falls Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I drive a big old truck with the tires pumped up
I've got my hands around a motor all day
I've got my name on my shirt, a little grease, little dirt
But it?s okay, she likes it that way
Yeah oh whoa, I'm a workin? man

I work on pistons and rings
Carburetors and sing a little 'Walk This Way' on the radio

I like my beer in a can, football and chewin? Red Man
A little sweat on my brow and I'm right at home
Yeah oh whoa, I'm a workin? man

But you know when we're all alone
These hands of stone turn soft and slow
And though I look rough outside she knows
What's inside of this heart of mine
Oh, that's workin? man

Each day I work like a dog, I like to cruise on my hog
I gotta a tattoo that says 'Life ain't easy'
And on the weekends at dawn I get up, mow the lawn
Fix the dryer and the faucet that's leakin?
Yeah oh whoa, I'm a workin? man

But you know when we're all alone
These hands of stone turn soft and slow
And though I look rough outside she knows
What's inside of this heart of mine
Oh, that's workin? man

Though the days are long, I gotta carry on
Gotta lot of mouths to feed
At the end of the day it?s worth the price I pay
Just to hear my baby say she loves me

You know when we're all alone
These hands of stone turn soft and slow
And though I look rough outside she knows
What's inside of this heart of mine

Oh, that's workin? man
Yeah, that's workin' man, that's workin' man

Overall Meaning

In "Working Man," Whiskey Falls sings about a man who takes pride in his job as a mechanic and enjoys his rough-cut, blue-collar lifestyle. He drives a big old truck, works on motors all day, and sports a little grease and dirt on his shirt. But despite his rugged exterior, he has a soft heart and loves deeply. He values hard work and takes satisfaction in providing for his family. The song also touches on themes of masculine identity and the complex interplay between social expectations and personal desires.

At its core, "Working Man" is a tribute to the men and women who work hard every day to make a living and take care of their families. It celebrates the dignity and pride of blue-collar workers and emphasizes the importance of love, community, and perseverance in the face of adversity. The song's catchy chorus and upbeat tempo also make it a fun and uplifting anthem for anyone who identifies with the working-class lifestyle.

I've got my hands around a motor all day

Each day I work like a dog, I like to cruise on my hog
I put in tireless effort every day and enjoy relaxing on my motorcycle

Yeah, that's workin' man, that's workin' man
I am proud to be a hardworking individual
