Thank God For The Workin Man
grandpa was a loggin man
and grandma could out cook most of them
daddy carried on the family name
hauling logs most of his days
and momma made a pretty mean cocktail
so its easy to tell
where i got my drive
yeah folks like us
are keepin this country alive
thank god for the workin man
with sweat on his brawl
and dirt on his hands
they're what keeps this country goin
they're the fuel to the flame
yeah they dont care if everyone knows their name
they'll just keep doin
what they're doin all the same
so if you got callused hands
let me get a hell yeah
for the workin man
they dont get the credit they deserve
for doin most of this countries work
so i want to take a minute to recognize
the teachers, constructions workers, farmers and the soldiers
keepin this great nation alive
thank god for the workin man
with sweat on his brawl
and dirt on his hands
they're what keeps this country goin
they're the fuel to the flame
yeah they dont care if everyone knows their name
they'll just keep doin
what they're doin all the same
so if you got callused hands
let me get a hell yeah
for the workin man
hey ya'll if you're one of us
raise your glass up high
it gets tough
but we dont mind
cuz we're keepin america alive
oh
thank god for the workin man
