Broken bones and bruises from years of high school ball
I got a busted up knee that flares up every fall
I never missed a game, I earned that ring and every single scar
Yeah and I got it all from workin' hard
I had my eye on that '96 step side Chevrolet
I made myself a promise that it'd be mine someday
So I spend my whole summer bailing hay and mowing yards
Yeah and I got that ol' truck from workin' hard
Well, I've spent my whole life, chasing that dream and a dollar
Busting my butt, sweat and blood, and pouring out my heart
Yeah when I look back if all I got is a red neck and blue collar
Yeah at least I got it all from workin' hard
Yeah, ooh
And I been playing them honkytonks for going on fifteen years
Some nights I made a little money and some nights I sang for beer
Well, I put some money down on a farm up in Tennessee
Gonna build a little white house for the dogs, my baby and me
Gonna sit out on the front porch and thank our lucky stars
Yeah and we got it all from workin' hard
Well, I've spent my whole life chasing that dream and a dollar
Busting my butt, sweat and blood, and pouring out my heart
Yeah when I look back if all I got is a red neck and blue collar
Yeah at least I got it all from workin' hard
Yeah at least I got it all from workin' hard
