[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I clock in at sunrise, my boots hit the ground,
Calloused hands and sweat stains, yeah, I’m factory-bound.
Six days a week, these gears never sleep,
Got a mortgage and a dream I’m too tired to keep.
[Chorus]
I’m a blue collar, I’m a red neck,
I’ve been working like a dog to keep my family fed.
Rust on my Chevy, pride in my veins,
Ain’t much glory, but I’ll die with my name.
[Verse 2]
The boss man’s hollerin’, the whistle’s gonna blow,
P***h the clock, grab my lunch, let the diesel roll.
My old lady’s waitin’, kids in their beds,
I’m bustin’ my bones for the roof overhead.
[Chorus]
I’m a blue collar, I’m a red neck,
I’ve been working like a dog to keep my family fed.
Dirt on my knuckles, steel in my spine,
This life’s a rough road, but it’s mine, all mine.
[Bridge]
Friday night lights flicker, beer can choir sings,
A little church on Sunday to forgive all my sins.
They say the world’s changin’, but my roots run deep,
In the soil of struggle, where the working folks sleep.
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
I’m a blue collar, I’m a red neck,
I’ve been working like a dog to keep my family fed.
Ain’t asking for pity, just respect when I’m through,
‘Cause every scar on these hands built the world for you.
[Outro]
