Hard Workin' Man

I'm a hard workin' man

I wear a steel hard hat

I can ride, rope or 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

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

I'm a hard, hard workin' man

I got it all on the line for a piece of the promised land

And I'm burning like a candle at both ends

'Bout the only way to keep the fire going is to outrun the wind

Come Friday night

I like to party hard

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

I ain't nothing but business, y'all, from nine till five

I'm a hard, hard workin' man

I got it all on the line for a piece of the promised land

And I'm burning like a candle at both ends

'Bout the only way to keep the fire going is to outrun the wind

I can't wait to get up in the morning and do it all over again

Well, I'm a hard livin', hard workin' man
