Dirty Shirt

Ronnie wasn't much on the thought of a coat and tie

There ain't much good to a man wearing steel toed boots from 8 to 5

He's been known to pop a top on a brew

He came off a little rough sometimes, but the folks that know him knew

If you can look past a dirty shirt

See beyond greasy hands

You can see a heart hard at work

And a damn good man

Army green seemed to suit him more than college life

Well, that's what his old man did

And he turned out all right

He never got him that great big house or a fancy car

But y'all it ain't the neighborhood you're in

It's the neighbor that you are

But if you can look past a dirty shirt

See beyond greasy hands

You can see a heart hard at work

And a damn good man

He's got scars and an angel on his arm that he got in Saigon in '65

To most folks he ain't nothing more than the ol' boy on the corner changing tires

But If look past a dirty shirt

See beyond greasy hands

You're gonna find a heart hard at work

Yeah, if you can look past a dirt shirt

See beyond greasy hands

You'll find a heart hard at work

And a damn good man

Kinda like my dad
