I'm a hard-working 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 getting really good at barely getting by Got everything on by the sweat of my brow From my four-wheel drive to my cowboy boots I wore it all to my blue-collar roots Feel like I'm working overtime on a runaway train I got to bust loose from this ball and chain I'm a hard-working man I got it all on the line for a piece of the promised land And I'm burning my candle at both ends About the only way to keep the fire going is to outrun the wind Instrumental Come Friday night, I like to party hard I carry on with the Cadillac Cutie Spend my whole week's pay on some weekend beauty Come Monday morning, I'm the first to arrive I ain't nothing but business, y'all, from nine to five I'm a hard-working man I got it all on the line for a piece of the promised land And I'm burning my candle at both ends About the only way to keep the fire going is to outrun the wind I can't wait to get up in the morning and do it all over again Well, I'm a hard-living, hard-working man Instrumental
