about

This song was a vinyl single on the Rig Rock Truckstop label.
song was also covered by an artist named Melba Toast. She played it on a show that John Stewart hosted.

lyrics

Some have lots of money
To sit in the easy chair
Some have got a honey
To help put em there
Some just get up in the morning
Get in the car and go but I've always go to do a lot of work
to get my hard work to show

Some had the help of products
i had the help of hands
some put it all together
but I was always at loose ends
but I dug my heels into the ground
and put the grindstone to my nose
I never gave up hope
and now my hard work shows

hard work and a lot of hairspray
got me where I am today
I teased I combed
I washed these cares away
I toiled I slaved I labored hard
and this is what I say
hard work and a lot of hairspray
got me where I am today
