I′m a hard workin' man
I wear a steel hard hat
I can ride, rope, hammer and paintDo 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 peace of the promised land
And I′m 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 week′s pay on some weekend beauty
Come Monday mornin′ I'm the first to arrive
I ain′t nothin' but business from nine to five
I′m a hard, hard workin' man
I got it all on the line
For a peace of the promised land
And I′m burnin' my candle at both ends
But 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
