Go to bed early, wake up at dawn
Swinging from the hip and punching at the clock
Build a hell of a life what more could you want
Than a week’s paid vacation and a pick up loan
I got a little white house with a flag in the front
it is, the way it was
Dirt turns to mud steel turns to rust
color of still the same blood
Daddy life working for a
more like a badge of honor
Sent to tried to to a scholar
the collar
Gas getting too high
And land too
get your hands an acre, ain’t handed down to you
Towers moving in, rent through the roof
we lay so we up boots
Daddy life working for a
more like a badge of honor
Sent to tried to to a scholar
the collar
Here’s to their backs and callous cracked hands
away your
still holding flame
‘cause I still give a damn
About beaten down forgotten man
My life working for a
more like a badge of honor
Sent to tried to to a scholar
the collar
Daddy life working for a
more like a badge of honor
Sent to tried to to a scholar
the collar
