Im a hard workin man
I wear a steel hard hat
I can ride, rope, hammer and paint
Do things with my hands that most men cant
I cant get ahead no matter how hard I try
Im 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 Im workin overtime on a runaway train
Ive got to bust loose from this ball and chain
Im a hard, hard workin man
I got it all on the line
For a peace of the promised land
And Im burnin my candle at both ends
But the only way to keep the fire goin
Is to outrun the wind
Come Friday night
I like to party hard
I carry on with the Cadillac cuties
Spend my whole weeks pay on some weekend beauty
Come Monday mornin Im the first to arrive
I aint nothin but business from nine to five
Im a hard, hard workin man
I got it all on the line
For a peace of the promised land
And Im burnin my candle at both ends
But the only way to keep the fire goin
Is to outrun the wind
I cant wait to get up in the mornin
And do it all over again
Well, Im a hard livin, hard workin man
