In the night I look for love.
I get my strength from the man above.
God of piston, god of steel,
god is here behind my wheel –
I’m just working for the man.
Pretty things get in my car –
I take them flying, it’s not far.
I’ll take them handsome, or take them mean.
They look good in my steel machine –
I’m just working for the man.
Don’t you know yet who I am?
I’m working harder for the man.
I go around doing good.
I get my strength from the man above.
I’m just working for the man.
