After all, I'm just a man I'm a blue collar man had a hammer in my hand For the last few years of my life Working double overtime While you sleep alone at night Baby I know it's been a long hard ride Sometimes I forget to say I love you But baby please

Ladies and gentleman Please rise The king is here I've been doing this for a while Putting in work, traveling miles Counting money by the pile My sounds make your lady smile I've been doing this for years All the blood, the sweat, the tears

What a way to go Twenty five years working for the state Saved all your money, got a good rate Always thinking 'bout that pension plan The day of retirement, the promised land, well Got a finish off that swimming pool Get some umbrellas, don't wanna be
