Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Go to bed early, wake up at dawn
Swingin' from the hip, punchin' at the clock
Build a hell of a life, what more could you want
Than a week's paid vacation and a pick up loan? Yeah
[Instrumental]
I got a little white house with a flag in the front
Way that it is is the way that it was
Dirt turns to mud here, steel turns to rust
The color of my neck's still the same as my blood
[Chorus]
Daddy spent his whole life workin' for a dollar
Name on his patch, more like a badge of honor
Sent me off to school, tried to turn me to a scholar
Can't unpaint the blue on my collar
[Instrumental]
Gas is gettin' too damn high and land is too
Can't get your hands on an acre that ain't handed down to you
Towers movin' in, sendin' rent through the roof
But we can't lay down so we lace up our boots
[Chorus]
Daddy spent his whole life workin' for a dollar
Name on his patch, more like a badge of honor
Sent me off to school, tried to turn me to a scholar
Can't unpaint the blue on my collar
[Instrumental]
Here's to their backs givin' out and callous cracked hands
The bank pissed away your retirement plans
But I'm still holdin' that flame 'cause I still give a damn
About that beaten-down, forgotten man
[Chorus]
My daddy spent his whole life workin' for a dollar
Name on his patch, more like a badge of honor
Sent me off to school, tried to turn me to a scholar
Can't unpaint the blue on my collar
Daddy spent his whole life workin' for a dollar
Name on his patch, more like a badge of honor
Sent me off to school, tried to turn me to a scholar
Can't unpaint the blue on my collar
