Labor Of Love

(Billy Lawson - Larry Boone)



Well, I got a cousin that's twice removed

Had a crush on a girl back in school

She didn't know it, he didn't let it show

Now she's married to a banker in El Paso.



You gotta swing that hammer

And beat that drum

Swing that hammer, beat that drum

Work, work, work, it's a labor of love.



Well, I once knew a couple from Arkansas

And she did hair and he hauled logs

Saved up their money and built on a room

Now there's three of them where there used to be two.



You gotta swing that hammer

And beat that drum

Swing that hammer, beat that drum

Work, work, work, it's a labor of love.



No matter if you're low class, high class, middle class

Well, it don't discriminate, no, it don't

It don't matter if you're redneck, intellect, a beatneck

Well, it all works the same, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lord now.

You gotta swing that hammer

And beat that drum

Swing that hammer, beat that drum

Work, work, work, it's a labor of love.



Gotta swing that hammer

And beat that drum

Swing that hammer, beat that drum

Work, work, work, it's a labor of love.



Work, work, work, it's a labor of love...
