I'm 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 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

I feel like I'm workin'

Overtime on a runaway train

I've 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 peace of the promised land

I'm burnin' my candle at both ends

'bout 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 week's pay

On some weekend beauty

Come monday mornin' I'm

The first to arrive

I ain't nothin' but business

From nine till five

I'm a hard, hard workin man

I got it all on the line

For a peace of the promised land

I'm burnin' my candle at both ends

'bout the only way to

Keep the fire goin'

Is to outrun the wind

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
