Great morning light splits through the chainAnother day older and closer to the graveI'm closer to the grave and come the dawnI woke this morning shackled and drawnShackled and drawn, shackled and drawnPick up the rock, son, and carry it onTrudging through the dark in a world gone wrongWoke up this morning shackled and drawnWhoa!Alright, yeah!I always love the feel of sweat on my shirtStand back, son, and let a man workLet a man work, is that so wrongI woke up this morning shackled and drawnShackled and drawn, shackled and drawnPick up the rock, son, and carry it onWhat's a poor boy to do in a world gone wrongWoke up this morning shackled and drawnFreedom, son, is a dirty shirtThe sun on my face and my shovel in the dirtThe shovel in the dirt keeps the devil goneI woke up this morning shackled and drawnShackled and drawn, shackled and drawnPick up the rock, son, and carry it onWhat's a poor boy to do but keep singing this songI woke up this morning shackled and drawnWhoa whoa whoa!Whoa whoa whoa!Whoa whoa whoa!Gambling man rolls the dice, working man pays the billsIt's still fat and easy up on banker's hillUp on banker's hill the party's going strongDown here below we're shackled and drawnShackled and drawn, shackled and drawnPick up the rock, son, and carry it onTrudging through the dark in a world gone wrongWoke up this morning shackled and drawnShackled and drawn, shackled and drawnPick up the rock, son, and carry it onWhat's a poor boy to do but keep singing this songI woke up this morning shackled and drawnWhoa!Whoa whoa-whoa!Whoa whoa-whoa!Whoa whoa-whoa!Whoa whoa-whoa!Whoa whoa-whoa!(I want everybody to stand up)(I want everybody to stand up and be counted tonight)(You know we got to pray together)(But I want everybody to stand up)(I want everybody to stand up and be counted tonight)
