Our daddies drank draft at the local bar

With an achin’ back just like old Granddad did

The rust stains covering a Craftsman wrench

When the sun’s coming up you can bet we’re clocking in
G                                                 A
Cash our paycheck, two day break, and do it again

We’re worn out boots and old Levi’s

The wind behind the stars and stripes, and we
