[Intro]

[Verse]
A
Go to bed early, wake up at dawn
D A
Swinging from the hip and punching at the clock
Build a hell of a life what more could you want
N.C. (D) (A)
Than a week's paid vacation and a pick up loan
Yeah
A D A D

[Verse]
A
I got a little white house with a flag in the front
D A
Way that it is, is the way that it was
Dirt turns to mud here, steel turns to rust
N.C. (D) (A)
The color of my neck's still the same as my blood
[Chorus]
A D A
Daddy spent his whole life working for a dollar
D A
Name on his patch, more like a badge of honor
D A
Sent me off to school, tried to turn me to a scholar
N.C.
Can't unpaint the blue on my collar
A D A D
[Verse]
A
Gas is getting too damn high and land is too
D A
Can't get your hands on an acre, that ain't handed down to you
Towers moving in, sending rent through the roof
D A
But we can't lay down, so we lace up our boots
[Chorus]
A D A
Daddy spent his whole life working for a dollar
D A
Name on his patch, more like a badge of honor
D A
Sent me off to school, tried to turn me to a scholar
N.C.
Can't unpaint the blue on my collar
A A A A A A
A A A A A A
[Break]
A
Here's to their backs giving out and callous cracked hands
D A
The bank pissed away your retirement plans
But I'm still holding that flame
'Cause I still give a damn
D A
About that beaten down forgotten man
[Chorus]
N.C. D A
My daddy spent his whole life working for a dollar
D A
Name on his patch, more like a badge of honor
D A
Sent me off to school, tried to turn me to a scholar
D A
Can't unpaint the blue on my collar
A D A
Daddy spent his whole life working for a dollar
D A
Name on his patch, more like a badge of honor
D A
Sent me off to school, tried to turn me to a scholar
N.C.
Can't unpaint the blue on my collar
