Lyrics
[Chorus]
He didn't go to college on a full ride
Baseball scholarship
Didn't head to L.A. or Broadway
Trying to make it big
He didn't take a few years after senior year
To try to find himself
He just did what he knew to do
'Cause he didn't know nothing else
[Chorus]
He went to work, he'd get it done
Do anything under the sun
Even when his hands or his back was hurt
He'd dirty up a blue-collar shirt
He put his family and the good Lord
Top of the list of what he loved to live for
He'd drink a beer, he'd hunt and fish
Played catch with me and give Mom a kiss
He went to work
[Verse 1]
When times were tough, bills piled up
The ends didn't wanna meet
If he worried some, you couldn't see it none
No, he just rolled up his sleeves
[Chorus]
He went to work, he'd get it done
Do anything under the sun
Even when his hands or his back was hurt
He'd dirty up a blue-collar shirt
He put his family and the good Lord
Top of the list of what he loved to live for
He'd drink a beer, he'd hunt and fish
Played catch with me and give Mom a kiss
He went to work
[Bridge]
It ain't easy trying to live up to his name, no, it ain't
Someday I hope my kids can say that same
[Chorus]
He went to work, he'd get it done
Do anything under the sun
Even when his hands or his back was hurt
He'd dirty up a blue-collar shirt
He put his family and the good Lord
Top of the list of what he loved to live for
He'd drink a beer, he'd hunt and fish
Played catch with me and give Mom a kiss
He went to work
He went to work
