Earned It
Lesson number one
Money don't grow on trees
When that rooster crowed
I hit my toes and I rolled up my sleeves
And pushing rocks and punching clocks
Broke my back for every dollar
I've cut your grass, and built your house
Said I'm proud of this blue collar
And anything I've got today
I got it the old-fashioned way
Buddy, I earned it
Damn right, it was worth it
And I'll do it all over again even if I'm hurting
Oh, at the end of the day
I get to watch my children play
I'm satisfied with my simple life
'Cause buddy, I earned it
Lesson number two
Trust ain't a given
They won't hand it to ya, they see right through ya
That's the way it is with women
If you love her son, and she's the one
Everything you've ever wanted
Well, keep showing up and don't give up
How you think I got your momma
Buddy, I earned it
Damn right, it was worth it
And I'll do it all over again even if I'm hurting
Oh, at the end of the day
I get to watch my children play
I'm satisfied with my simple life
'Cause buddy I earned it
Mm, 'cause buddy, I earned it, oh yeah
It don't matter who you are
Just be the best that you can be
And you'll sleep at night and understand why that's lesson number three
'Cause buddy I earned it
You're damn right, it was worth it
And I'll do it all over again even if I'm hurting
'Cause buddy, I earned it
Damn right, it was worth it
And I'll do it all over again even if I'm hurting
Oh, at the end of the day
I get to watch my children play
I'm satisfied with my simple life
'Cause buddy I earned it
Buddy, I earned it, eh-yeah
Money don't grow on trees
When that rooster crowed
I hit my toes and I rolled up my sleeves
And pushing rocks and punching clocks
Broke my back for every dollar
I've cut your grass, and built your house
Said I'm proud of this blue collar
And anything I've got today
I got it the old-fashioned way
Buddy, I earned it
Damn right, it was worth it
And I'll do it all over again even if I'm hurting
Oh, at the end of the day
I get to watch my children play
I'm satisfied with my simple life
'Cause buddy, I earned it

You're damn right, it was worth it
And I'll do it all over again even if I'm hurting
'Cause buddy, I earned it
Damn right, it was worth it
And I'll do it all over again even if I'm hurting
Oh, at the end of the day
I get to watch my children play
I'm satisfied with my simple life
'Cause buddy I earned it
Buddy, I earned it, eh-yeah
