My lady asked me, baby, when you coming home
She's pissed and I can hear her through the telephone
Said if you ain't back by five, then you're on your own
I said, girl, there ain't no way I'm gonna make it in time
I got here at five, and won't get off till nine
Don't know what you signed up to, this blue-collar life
I know that hunting and fishing and mudding is cool
And I know some things they don't teach you in school
I don't care if it takes all night
Blue-collar life, blue-collar life, that's right
Spent half of my life working on this truck
And the other half getting it unstuck
Letting the bills pile up but paying them on time
Don't matter if it's sun, sleet, snow or rain
I'll be out here, cause it's all the same
Somebody's gotta do it, and somebody's me
I know that hunting and fishing and mudding is cool
And I know some things they don't teach you in school
I don't care if it takes all night
Blue-collar life, blue-collar life, yeah, that's right
Blue-collar life
Get worked like a dog to eat and drink like a king
Y'all might think that we don't know a thing
It's all good, cause we're livin the blue-collar dream
Well, it don't matter if it's sun or rain
I'll be out here, cause it's all the same
Somebody's gotta do it, and somebody's me
I know that hunting and fishing and mudding is cool
And I know some things they don't teach you in school
I don't care if it takes all night
Blue-collar life, blue-collar life, yeah, that's right
