Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yeah, mm
[Verse 2]
I'm a hard workin' man
I wear steel hard hat
Yeah, I can ride, rope, hammer, and paint
Do things with my hands that most men can't
I can't get ahead no matter how hard I try
I'm gettin' really good at barely gettin' by, woo
[Verse 3]
Got everything I own
By the sweat of my brow
From my four-wheel drive to my cowboy boots
I owe it all to my blue collar roots
Feel like I'm workin' overtime on a runaway train
I got to bust loose from this ball and chain
[Verse 4]
I'm a hard, hard workin' man
I got it all on the line
For a piece of the promised land
I'm burning my candle at both ends
But the only way to keep the fire goin'
Is to outrun the wind
[Verse 5]
Come Friday night (Come Friday night)
I like to party hard
Yeah, and I, I carry on with the Cadillac cuties
Spend my whole week's pay on some weekend beauty
Come Monday morning, I'm the first to arrive
Ain't nothin' but business, y'all, from nine to five
[Verse 6]
I'm a hard, hard workin' man
I got it all on the line
For a piece of the promised land
And I'm burnin' my candle at both ends
But the only way to keep the fire goin'
Is to outrun the wind
[Verse 7]
I can't wait to get up in the mornin'
And do it all over again
Well, I'm a hard livin', hard workin' man
