Daddy fought fires in our small town,
40 years risking his life
And mama she worried every night
Grand daddy worked every job in that factory
Yeah, a lot of work for a little pay,
But he held his head high everyday
Said son this country,
Was built on hard work and faith
Here's to the rough necks, the teachers
The truckers on the long haul,
The farmers sweating in the sun,
Getting it done,
Yeah, here's to you all.
Bartenders, and nurses,
Assembly workers on the line
How bout a holler for the blue collared men and women working over time
Hey thank you for doing all you do
Cheers to you
We lay the tracks for our trains and fix the highways,
Yeah you teach our kids how to read and write,
You keep our little town safe at night,
You build us our cars, and keep em running
You wear steel dagger star
You're the heart and backbone
Of this small & free country,
Built on handwork and faith
Here's to the rough necks, the teachers
The truckers on the long haul,
The farmers sweating in the sun, getting it done,
Yeah, here's to you all.
Bartenders, and nurses,
Assembly workers on the line
How bout a holler for the blue collared men and women working over time
Hey thank you for doing all you do
Cheers to you
