"Hard Workin' Man" lyrics - THE SINGING CONTRACTORS

[Intro:]
I'm a hard working man
I wear a steel hard hat, yeah
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 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 working overtime on a runaway train
I've got to bust loose from this ball and chain

[Chorus:]
I'm a hard, hard working man
I got it all on the line for a piece of the promised land
I'm burning my candle at both ends
But the only way to keep the fire going is to outrun the wind

[Bridge:]
We're really good at barely getting by

[Chorus:]
I'm a hard, hard working man
I got it all on the line for a piece of the promised land
I'm burning my candle at both ends
But the only way to keep the fire going is to outrun the wind

[Outro:]
Well, I'm a hard, hard working man, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah
