[verse]
My father worked like I do
….
Said he did so I won’t haff-to
Tell my son-that same old lie too
Hell my daddy dug this same dirt that i do
With a neck red just like mine too
He went to bed most nights alone
no one to cry to
Wore them boots til they caught fire
Two steppin im them faded blues and danced around that silo
I know
I know things they get to changin
That’s way it’s been
Since I remember
I hope this world it spins forever
I hope my son he does things better
As for me it’s all the same
The only change I needs the seasons with the weather
[chorus] [children chant]
[child vocals] woooork hard
….
[child vocals]—go home and eat
[child vocals] no time for play make sure you pay
[child vocals] Then go to sleep
[child vocals] Wake up tomorrow
[child vocals] bright early
[child vocals] Then repeat !
[chorus] [children chant]
[child vocals] woooork hard
….
[child vocals]—go home and eat
Make sure you-
[child vocals] Thank the lord for another day
[child vocals] Then go to sleep
[child vocals] Wake up tomorrow
[child vocals] bright early
[child vocals] Then repeat !
[verse]
I wear these steel toe boots
I roll my jeans and sleeves up
Collars blue but my T’s a v cut
Neck is red I pop the collar
They don’t see that !
Punch a clock
I shovel dirt
I hear my knees crack
Make a joke ,
Hey that’s a knee smack
Hitch the boat
If I’m lucky
Once a month
The time I have
It’s got to go ,
To all the things
that I need done
It’s the way it goes
Not the way I want
They say it grows ——
On you over time
I set a line set and waited for a bite that never came and that’s ok that’s life it’s ever changin
[chorus] [children chant]
[child vocals] woooork hard
….
[child vocals]—go home and eat
[child vocals] no time for play, Make sure you pray
[child vocals] Then go to sleep
[child vocals] Wake up tomorrow
[child vocals] bright early
[child vocals] Then repeat !
