"He Went To Work" lyrics

He didn't go to college on a full ride
Baseball scholarship
Didn't head to L.A. or Broadway
Trying to make it big
He didn't take a few years after senior year
To try to find himself
He just did what he knew to do
'Cause he didn't know nothing else

He went to work, he'd get it done
Do anything under the sun
Even when his hands or his back was hurt
He'd dirty up a blue-collar shirt
He put his family and the good Lord
Top of the list of what he loved to live for
He'd drink a beer, he'd hunt and fish
Played catch with me and give Mom a kiss
He went to work

When times were tough, bills piled up
The ends didn't wanna meet
If he worried some, you couldn't see it none
No, he just rolled up his sleeves

He went to work, he'd get it done
Do anything under the sun
Even when his hands or his back was hurt
He'd dirty up a blue-collar shirt
He put his family and the good Lord
Top of the list of what he loved to live for
He'd drink a beer, he'd hunt and fish
Played catch with me and give Mom a kiss
He went to work

It ain't easy trying to live up to his name, no, it ain't
Someday I hope my kids can say that same

He went to work, he'd get it done
Do anything under the sun
Even when his hands or his back was hurt
He'd dirty up a blue-collar shirt
He put his family and the good Lord
Top of the list of what he loved to live for
He'd drink a beer, he'd hunt and fish
Played catch with me and give Mom a kiss
He went to work
He went to work
