hard workin' man lyrics

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

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 off 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
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
