Lyrics
I'm a hard working man
I wear a steel hard hat
Yeah, 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 getting really good at barely getting 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 working overtime on a runaway train
I've got to bust loose from this ball and chain
I'm a hard, hard working man
I got it all on the line
For a peace of the promised land
And I'm burning my candle at both ends
'Bout the only way to keep the fire going
Is to outrun the wind
Come Friday night (Come Friday night)
I like to party hard
Yeah, and I carry on with the Cadillac cuties
Spend my whole week's pay on some weekend beauty
And come Monday morning I'm the first to arrive
Ain't nothing but business y'all from nine to five
I'm a hard, hard working man
I got it all on the line
For a peace of the promised land
And I'm burning my 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 living, hard working man
