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
And I´m burnin´ my candle at both ends
´Bout the only way to keep the fire goin´ is to outrun the wind
I 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
´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
