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
