Working Man's Ph.d.

You get up every morning 'fore the sun comes up
 Toss a lunchbox into a pickup truck
 A long, hard day sure ain't much fun
 But you've gotta get it started if you wanna get it done
 You set your mind and roll up your sleeves
 You're workin' on a working man's Ph.D
 With your heart in your hands and the sweat on your brow
 You build the things that really make the world go around
 If it works, if it runs, if it lasts for years
 You bet your bottom dollar it was made right here
 With pride, honor and dignity
 From a man with a working man's Ph.D
 Now there ain't no shame in a job well done
 From driving a nail to driving a truck
 As a matter of fact I'd like to set things straight
 A few more people should be pullin' their weight
 If you wanna cram course in reality
 You get yourself a working man's Ph.D
 When the quittin' whistle blows and the dust settles down
 There ain't no trophies or cheering crowds
 You'll face yourself at the end of the day
 And be damn proud of whatever you've made
 Can't hang it on the wall for the world to see
 But you've got yourself a working man's Ph.D
 Now there ain't no shame in a job well done
 From driving a nail to driving a truck
 As a matter of fact I'd like to set things straight
 A few more people should be pullin' their weight
 If you wanna cram course in reality
 You get yourself a working man's Ph.D
