hard working man Lyrics

I'm a hard workin' man,
I wear a steel hard hat.
I can ride, rope, a-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 ev'rything 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 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.
Comin' 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, you all,
from nine to five.
I'm a hard,
hard 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.
