"Hard Hat And A Hammer"

 

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
