Right Man For The Job Lyrics

Charlie Robison Right Man For The Job

John Henry moved a mountain outta nothing but a hammer
and sweat
Well he beat that damn machinery down he said, “you
ain’t seen nothing yet”
Cause he had himself a woman, well she must have been
something like you
When you’re a man with a plan, got a hammer in your
hand ain’t nothing you can’t do

Chorus:
When you’re the right man
You’re the right man
You’re the right man
You’re the right man for the job

Well there used to be a dude named Samson and he had
himself some hair
Every skinny cowboy at the Pyramid Bar said the gene
pool just ain’t fair
But he went down to the barber cause he had to wear a
tux that night
And even though he didn’t ook like Hanson y’all, he
made Delilah giggle with delight

Chorus 2:
He was the right man
He was the right man
He was the right man
Hew was the right man for the job

Bridge:
Well you loved yourself a carpenter, he never ever went
to school
He was thick as ol’ brown gravy and he had the wrong
kind of tool

Solo

Well I ain’t got no big muscles and I ain’t got lots of
hair
And I ain’t no sheik from Arabia, just a fellow with
some love to spare
So if you come back here to Texas, girl, from wherever
you’re at tonight
I’m gonna kiss you like you’ve never been kissed before
for the rest of your doggone life

Chorus 3:
Cause I’m the right man
I’m the right man
I’m the right man
Yeah I’m the right man
The right man for the job

Chorus 4:
I’m the right man
I’m the right man
I’m the right man
I’m the right man
The right man for the job
