Blue Collar

verse 1

Burning through the days, sleepless through the nights

Burning out of gas but I keep on, keeping up the fight

Twenty-four seven pumping caffeine into my veins

Walking the line, paying attention, leaving my switch on to my brain

Working hard into the hours to only come to a loss

After deductions my check's weak while living in a high cost

But through and through the bills are getting paid

Roof over our heads, clothes on our backs, food on the table, family got it made

pre-chorus

We're the ones

We're the ones

You're the ones

You're the ones

You're the ones

You're the ones

chorus 1

You're the one who is working in the construction doing manual labor

I'm the one working in the factories as an operator

I'm the one working the fields driving machinery

I'm the one that's always looking for more and greater opportunities

That's not scared to roll up my sleeves and get dirty

Yeah, I'm a Blue Collar American, yeah, that's me

instrumental

verse 2

My mornings is all good as long as I got my cup of coffee

It helps gives me that spark, that spark of energy

But at night, I'm up most of the night tossing and turning

Too many thoughts going through my head keeping me from sleeping

Going down a list, checking each thought off, making sure

Now, overtime isn't worth a squat unless it's five plus hours or more

I work myself to the bone until my shirt is nothing but dirt

And if wasn't for people like us this country would hurt

pre-chorus

We're the ones

We're the ones

You're the ones

You're the ones

You're the ones

You're the ones

chorus 2

You're the one who is working in the construction doing manual labor

I'm the one working in the factories as an operator

I'm the one working the fields driving machinery

I'm the one that's always looking for more and greater opportunities

I'm the one driving and delivering loads, just call me the trucker

I'm the one that fixes water pipes, toilets, sinks and baths, yeah, I'm the plumber

I'm the one who saves people and property from harm, putting fires out and smoke

I'm the one who works on your vehicles and get you back on the road

I'm the one who fuses metals like iron, aluminum and steel

Yeah, I'm a Blue Collar American, yeah, for real

instrumental

bridge

All of these hard days and nights of work going into the weekend

Is nothing sweeter than enjoying the time off with family and friends

A good ole feast on the grill and I'm biting into a delicious ribeye

And sometimes if I'm lucky, I'm able to get half a day of shuteye

But when the weekend comes to an end, there's no more time to play

Get ready, blue collar, because it's the same shirt just a different day

chorus 3

I'm the one working in the warehouse operating light and heavy equipment

I'm the blue collar that shows up on time for work and gives a commitment

I'm the one that takes care of landscapes with weed eater, trimmers and mower

I'm the one that works on the farm attending to animals and crops driving a tractor

I'm the one who takes coal, metals and materials from the ground, yeah, I'm the minor

Yeah, I'm a Blue Collar American, yeah, holla!

pre-chorus

We're the ones

We're the ones

You're the ones

You're the ones

You're the ones

You're the ones

chorus 4

You're the one who is working in the construction doing manual labor

I'm the one working in the factories as an operator

I'm the one working the fields driving machinery

I'm the one that's always looking for more and greater opportunities

Yeah, that's me

Yeah, I'm a

Blue Collar American

Yeah
