Blue Collar Boys

We were just river kids
 Pickin' up stones like David did
 Watchin' them long necks break off of Freight Train Bridge
 We went to church in a Detroit car
 Our daddies drank draft at the local bar
 With an achin' back just like old granddad did
 And we like cold keg beer and fixin' up trucks
 Old bird dogs and the woman we love
 Maxwell House steamin' out of a coffee cup
 We say our prayers, send 'em to the sky
 Bust our backs, barely getting by
 Carolina to California, up to Illinois
 Yeah, there's guys like us

 We're the white paint peeling off a picket fence
 The rust stains covering a Craftsman wrench
 When the sun's coming up, you can bet we're clocking in
 Cash our paycheck, two day break, and do it again
 We like cold keg beer and fixin' up trucks
 Old bird dogs and the woman we love
 Maxwell House steamin' out of a coffee cup
 We say our prayers, send 'em to the sky
 Bust our backs, barely getting by
 Carolina to California, up to Illinois
 Yeah, there's guys like us

 We're worn out boots and old Levi's
 The wind behind the Stars and Stripes
 And we like cold keg beer and fixin' up trucks
 Old bird dogs and the woman we love
 Maxwell House steamin' out of a coffee cup
 We say our prayers, send 'em to the sky
 Bust our backs, barely getting by
