Good Folks Goin’ To Work
You want a picture of America?
It's good folks goin' to work
Bleedin' blood, sweat and tears on a blue-collar shirt
Bring home the bacon, fry it in a skillet
Got a hunger in our bellies and we can't fill it
Make a little love to heal some of the hurt
Good folks goin' to work
Pipeline boys and construction crews
Thank God for the men and the women in blue
Just good folks goin' to work
Through the rain, sleet and snow they're carryin' mail
To the preachers, the teachers and the sheriff in jail
Just good folks goin' to work
They're just good folks goin' to work
Blood, sweat and tears on a blue-collar shirt
Bring home the bacon, fry it in a skillet
Got a hunger in our bellies and we can't fill it
You want a picture of America
Land of the dreams, come and get you some
And when the mornin' comes, we're just good folks goin' to work
They give you a shot of penicillin
Rescue you from a burnin' buildin'
Just good folks goin' to work
Plantin' up the field, keepin' people fed
Writin' down the songs for the crazy in your head
Just good folks goin' to work
They're just good folks goin' to work
Blood, sweat and tears on a blue-collar shirt
Bring home the bacon, fry it in a skillet
Got a hunger in our bellies and we can't fill it
You want a picture of America
Land of the dreams, come and get you some
And when the mornin' comes, we're just good folks goin' to work
Yeah, they graduate from high school
And they go to war
And our freedom
Yeah, that's what they're fightin' for
In a flash of light life disappears
And a flag is covered by a mother's tears
It ain't who we ain't, it's who we are
Under 50 stars and 13 bars
Bringin' home the bacon, fry it in a skillet
Got a hunger in our bellies and we can't fill it
You want a picture of America
Land of the dreams, come and get you some
And when the mornin' comes, we're just good folks goin' to work
Yeah, good folks goin' to work
It's good folks goin' to work
Bleedin' blood, sweat and tears on a blue-collar shirt
Bring home the bacon, fry it in a skillet
Got a hunger in our bellies and we can't fill it
Make a little love to heal some of the hurt
Good folks goin' to work
Pipeline boys and construction crews
Thank God for the men and the women in blue
Just good folks goin' to work
Through the rain, sleet and snow they're carryin' mail
To the preachers, the teachers and the sheriff in jail
Just good folks goin' to work
They're just good folks goin' to work
Blood, sweat and tears on a blue-collar shirt
Bring home the bacon, fry it in a skillet
Got a hunger in our bellies and we can't fill it
You want a picture of America
Land of the dreams, come and get you some
And when the mornin' comes, we're just good folks goin' to work
They give you a shot of penicillin
Rescue you from a burnin' buildin'
Just good folks goin' to work
Plantin' up the field, keepin' people fed
Writin' down the songs for the crazy in your head
Just good folks goin' to work
They're just good folks goin' to work
Blood, sweat and tears on a blue-collar shirt
Bring home the bacon, fry it in a skillet
Got a hunger in our bellies and we can't fill it
You want a picture of America
Land of the dreams, come and get you some
And when the mornin' comes, we're just good folks goin' to work
Yeah, they graduate from high school

And our freedom
Yeah, that's what they're fightin' for

And a flag is covered by a mother's tears
It ain't who we ain't, it's who we are

Bringin' home the bacon, fry it in a skillet
Got a hunger in our bellies and we can't fill it
You want a picture of America
Land of the dreams, come and get you some
And when the mornin' comes, we're just good folks goin' to work
Yeah, good folks goin' to work
