(ronnie dunn)



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



Chorus:

I'm a hard, hard workin man

I got it all on the line

For a peace of the promised land

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 from nine till five



(repeat chorus)



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
