Lyrics

Tom Brough / Blue Collar
Verse
Every day when the sun comes up, my honey pours me a 10 oz. cup of the strongest mud, store coupons can buy
I get in my truck and hope its starts, you see it's built with old used parts, but its paid for, this piece of junks all mine.

Pre chorus
Been doing this now for most of my life, working days and playing nights just trying to survive

Chorus
I'm off to work today, in the town where I was raised, and at night I get to play in a lot of cool bars,
there's no fortune and no fame, I'm the lucky one, Im not ashamed I'm blue collar, hey I'm the working man

Verse
My hero died back in 92, before he could tell me what to do with a wife and kids and a roof barely over our heads
so just like him I work hard all day, and sing at night so I can pay for heat and lights to keep my family fed

Pre chorus / Chorus

I always thought when I was young I would make it by 21, but some things don't turn out your way now and then
But with no music there is no life, so ill grab my guitar and head out tonight, and get up in the morning and do it all again
