Blue Collar Dreams

With an aching back
Blood, tears, and sweat
Blue collar dreams
Keep me in debt
Can't tell you why
I don't leave this old
One horse town behind
My good intentions withered on the vine

I can't save a dime
I try to walk that straight and narrow line
Oh I need a small vacation
But I ain't got 'nuff time
Bright and early I'll be back to the grind

With an aching back
Blood, tears, and sweat
Blue collar dreams
Keep me in debt
Can't tell you why
I don't leave this old
One horse town behind
My good intentions withered on the vine

Paycheck to paycheck
Ain't the way things outta be
Hard times they seem to never end
Yesterday the groceries
Today I'll pay the rent
By Friday all my money will be spent

With an aching back
Blood, tears, and sweat
Blue collar dreams
Keep me in debt
Can't tell you why
I don't leave this old
One horse town behind
My good intentions withered on the vine

With an aching back
Blood, tears, and sweat
Blue collar dreams
Keep me in debt
Can't tell you why
I don't leave this old
One horse town behind
My good intentions withered on the vine
I'll kick the can a little further down the line
My good intentions withered on the vine
