Lace-up boots and faded jeans
|
A homemade sandwich, a half jug of tea
|
Average Joe, average pay
|
Same ol' end and same ol' day
|
|
But there's nothing wrong with a hard hat and a hammer
|
Kind of glue that sticks this world together
|
Hands of steel and cradle of the Promised Land
|
God bless the working man
|
|
All week long making a living
|
Life keeps takin', he keeps giving
|
Behind the scene, below the grade
|
Hardly noticed but part of everything
|
|
But there's nothing wrong with a hard hat and a hammer
|
Kind of glue that sticks this world together
|
Hands of steel and cradle of the Promised Land
|
God bless the working man
|
|
He gives his life then fades away
|
Another young man takes his place
|
Average Joe, average pay
|
Same ol end, same old' day
|
|
But there's nothing wrong with a hard hat and a hammer
|
Kind of glue that sticks this world together
|
Hands of steel and cradle of the Promised Land
|
|
No, there's nothing wrong with a hard hat and a hammer
|
Kind of glue that sticks this world together
|
Hands of steel and cradle of the Promised Land
|
God bless the working man
|
|
The working man
|
Oh, the working man and woman
|
