I'M A HARD WORKIN' MAN
I WEAR
A STEEL HARD HAT
I CAN RIDE ROPE
OR 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 GOT TO
BUST LOOSE
FROM THIS
BALL AND CHAIN
I'M A HARD
POOR 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
SO 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
YA'LL FROM NINE TO FIVE
I'M A HARD
POOR 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
