You get up every morning 'fore the sun comes up
|
Toss a lunchbox into a pickup truck
|
A long, hard day sure ain't much fun
|
But you've gotta get it started if you wanna get it done
|
You set your mind and roll up your sleeves
|
You're workin' on a working man's Ph.D.
|
|
With your heart in your hands and the sweat on your brow
|
You build the things that really make the world go around
|
If it works, if it runs, if it lasts for years
|
You bet your bottom dollar it was made right here
|
With pride, honor and dignity
|
From a man with a working man's Ph.D.
|
|
Now there ain't no shame in a job well done
|
From driving a nail to driving a truck
|
As a matter of fact I'd like to set things straight
|
A few more people should be pullin' their weight
|
If you wanna cram course in reality
|
You get yourself a working man's Ph.D.
|
|
When the quittin' whistle blows and the dust settles down
|
There ain't no trophies or cheering crowds
|
You'll face yourself at the end of the day
|
And be damn proud of whatever you've made
|
Can't hang it on the wall for the world to see
|
But you've got yourself a working man's Ph.D.
|
|
Now there ain't no shame in a job well done
|
From driving a nail to driving a truck
|
As a matter of fact I'd like to set things straight
|
A few more people should be pullin' their weight
|
If you wanna cram course in reality
|
You get yourself a working man's Ph.D.
