Verse 1
I'm a hard workDin' man, I wear a steel hard hat,
I can Gride, rope, hammer and paint,
do Dthings with my hands that most men can't.
I Acan't get ahead no matter how hard I try,
I'm getting D really good at barely Dgetting by.
Verse 2
Got everything DI own by the sweat of my brow,
from my Gfour-wheel drive to my cowboy boots,
DI owe it all to my blue-collar roots.
Feel like I'm Aworkin' overtime on a runaway train,
I've got Dto bust loose from this ball and chain.
Chorus 1
I'm a Ghard, F hard-workin'D man,
I've got it Aall on the line for a piece of the Dpromised land.
And I'm Gburnin' my Fcandle at both Dends,
about the only way to Akeep the fire going is to out-run the Dwind.

Verse 3
Come Friday Dnight I like to party hard,
GI carry on with the Cadillac cuties,
spend my Dwhole week's pay on some weekend beauty.
ACome Monday morning I'm the first to arrive,
I ain't Dnothin' but business from nine to five.
Chorus 2
I'm a Ghard, F hard-workin'D man,
I've got it Aall on the line for a piece of the Dpromised land.
And I'm Gburnin' my Fcandle at both Dends,
about the only way to Akeep the fire going is to out-run the Dwind.
I can't wait to Aget up in the mornin', and do it all over Dagain,
well, I'm a Ahard-livin', hard-DworkGin' Dman.
