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
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 piece of the promised land
and I'm burnin' my candle at both ends
'Bout the only way
to keep the fire goin' is to
outrun the wind
Instrumental Break
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 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 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
and women too
