I look around and all I see Are people just like you and me They smile and wave and donâ¬"t complain Earn each dollar that they make Some punch the clock with overtime Sneak in to kiss their kids goodnight Others work a long hard day And still make time for PTA When we get tired, we get tough But thatâ¬"s the way that we grew up [Chorus] You bet Iâ¬"m proud that my father Is a working man who wears a blue collar I was taught to work hard, play hard, but pray harder Life ainâ¬"t about the get there quick You gotta build it brick by brick Iâ¬"m thankful that my mom and dad Loved with everything they had But let me make my own mistakes Thatâ¬"s the biggest gift they could have gave Thereâ¬"s something to be said about Scraping knees and falling down Gettinâ¬" right back up again And giving all you have to give I learned to walk by watching them That made me who I am [Repeat Chorus] A swift trip up on an easy ride Leaves you with nothing but a long slide down [Chorus] You bet Iâ¬"m proud that my father Is a working man who wears a blue collar I was taught to work hard, play hard, love hard but pray harder Life ainâ¬"t about the get there quick You gotta build it brick by brick Brick by brick, yeah |
