I'm a hard, hard worker every day
I'm a hard, hard worker, I'm workin' every day
I'm a hard hard worker and I'm savin' all my pay
If I ever get some money put away
I'm gonna take it all out to celebrate
I'm a hard, hard worker every day

Well, I woke up early this morn'
And I woke up early this morn', morn', morn'
Yeah, I woke up early this morn'
And I got up early to sing
And I got up early to sing
I got up early to sing

'Cause I'm a hard, hard worker, I'm workin' every day
I'm a hard, hard worker, and I'm savin' all my pay
If I ever get some money put away
I'm gonna take it all out to celebrate
I'm a hard, hard worker every day

Well, I give my thanks to the Lord
And I give my thanks to the Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Lord, please give me some more
And I got way down on my knees
Sayin' "Lord, can ya help me, if ya please, please, please
Can ya' save me from this workin' man's disease?"

Load in, load out
Get down, get out
Drive home too late
My mind stays crooked
And my back stays straight

I'm a hard, hard worker every day
I'm a hard, hard worker and I'm savin' all my pay
If I ever get some money put away
I'm gonna take it all out to celebrate
I'm a hard, hard worker every day
I'm a hard, hard worker every day
I'm a hard, hard worker every day

    My back was straight today.

    I wonder sometimes, does hard work straight out tight muscles, like a tight back or does hard work make it worse? I believe hard work can loosen and strengthen muscles so you can be a stronger worker.

    The working man's disease to me is the man who doesn't know what to do with himself on a Monday afternoon at 11am. He's so used to working that he's restless and must find something to occupy himself until the day off is finished. So it could be the avett brothers are suggesting a balance where a man knows what to do on a day off and maybe knows what he should do on a monday at 11am at home---a day off--maybe they are asking "What does a working man do when he doesn't have work to distract him?" Work in some ways can be a way to procrastinate a difficult choice or avoid problems, sometimes.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
