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
