We were just river kids Pickin´ up stones like David did Watchin´ them longnecks break off of Freight Train Bridge We went to church in a Detroit car
Our daddies drank draft at the local bar With an achin´ back just like old Granddad did
And we like cold keg beer and fixin´ up trucks Old bird dogs and the woman we love Maxwell House steamin´ out of a coffee cup We say our prayers, send ´em to the sky Bust our backs, barely getting by Carolina to California up to Illinois Yeah, there´s guys like us Blue collar boys
We´re the white paint peeling off a picket fence The rust stains covering a Craftsman wrench When the sun´s coming up you can bet we´re clocking in Cash our paycheck, two day break, and do it again
We like cold keg beer and fixin´ up trucks Old bird dogs and the woman we love Maxwell House steamin´ out of a coffee cup We say our prayers, send ´em to the sky Bust our backs, barely getting by Carolina to California up to Illinois Yeah, there´s guys like us Blue collar boys
We´re worn out boots and old Levi´s The wind behind the stars and stripes
And we like cold keg beer and fixin´ up trucks Old bird dogs and the woman we love Maxwell House steamin´ out of a coffee cup We say our prayers, send ´em to the sky Bust our backs, barely getting by Carolina to California up to Illinois
Yeah, there´s guys like us Yeah, there´s guys like us Blue collar boys
