Lace-up boots and faded jeans
A homemade sandwich, a half jug of tea
Average Joe, average pay
Same ol' end and same ol' day
But there’s nothing wrong with a hard hat and a hammer
Kind of glue that sticks this world together
Hands of steel and cradle of the Promised Land
God bless the working man
All week long making a living
Life keeps takin', he keeps giving
Behind the scene, below the grade
Hardly noticed but part of everything
He gives his life then fades away
Another young man takes his place
Average Joe, average pay
Same ol end, same old' day
But there’s nothing wrong with a hard hat and a hammer
Kind of glue that sticks this world together
Hands of steel and cradle of the Promised Land
No, there’s nothing wrong with a hard hat and a hammer
Kind of glue that sticks this world together
Hands of steel and cradle of the Promised Land
God bless the working man
The working man
Oh, the working man and woman
Without the hard working men and women of this country, and world, there would be no economies or food, or transit. Or pretty much anything else. I work 6 days a week most of the time, up to 12 hours a day, so God Bless you all!!!
In this day and age blue-collar work in blue-collar workers are so look down upon. Military members trash The blue-collar workers who have never served in the military and people with college degrees look at blue-collar workers like they do blue-collar work because they were too dumb for college. When in reality, just like someone has to do the military job and someone has to do the jobs that college degrees are required for some people have to do the dirty work and we do the dirty work not to the military doesn’t have plenty of its own dirty work and not the entire military does this but some military members make civilians who never served out to be weak and cowardice because they chooseNot to enlist and I just don’t get it if this country put all of it egos aside and we all work together we get so much farther
