HARD WORKIN' MAN
(Ronnie Dunn)

Im a hard workin man
I wear a steel hard hat
I can ride, rope, hammer, and paint
Do things with my hands that most men cant
I cant get ahead no matter how hard I try
Im gettin really good at barely gettin by

Got everything I own
By the sweat of my brow
From my four-wheel drive to my cowboy boots
I owe it all to my blue collar roots

Well, I'm flyin' high and I'm feelin' low
Drinkin' hard and dancin' slow
I'm gonna shine my buckle to George Jones
Heartaches are hot on my heels, bartender the race is on

She's gone for good and I'm goin' to town
I'm gonna live it up, yeah, livin' her down
Jose pick me up and get me on my feet
So I can scoot a boot to that two-four jukebox beat

Yeah, I'm heartbroke out of my mind

Up in the city it's crazy and concrete cold
Living life at the speed of light leaves dark in your soul
When every minute's got a heart attack in it
It's time to leave it alone
So I don't think we're gonna beat this postcard home

We're down to the worm in the bottle
The chips and the salsa are gone
Now we know why J.T. sang "Oh Mexico"
We're two days south of the border

Times are hard and the money's tight
Day to day we fight that fight
Nothing new, it's the same old grind
Uphill all the way

Boss man says forget the raise
Preacher says to keep the faith
Good things come to those who wait
Tomorrow's another day

Our time is coming
When or where the good Lord only knows
Our time is coming
When this road we're on will turn to a street of gold

She's got a T-top Camaro with a scoop on the hood.
Two big speakers blastin' Johnny B Good.
Looking so sweet it oughta be a crime,
She plays with my heart and messes with my mind.
Acts like Madonna, but she listens to Mearle.
Rock my world little country girl.

She wears snakeskin boots made by Calvin Klein,
Cheap sunglasses from the Five-and-Dime.

She looks so good moving 'cross the dance floor
Better than the day she left me
Arm in arm of somebody new.
Holdin' hands and laughing like we used to.
I got my best smile on, but it's no disguise.
It don't hide the pain in these eyes.

I did her so wrong, for so long.
Turned my back on her love,
Now she's long gone.
I did my part to break her heart.
She walked out on me and tore my world apart.

Well I'll bet by the time I get to Tulsa
She'll be pullin' on them tight blue jeans
She'll go down to Cowboy's, buy herself a cold one
And on a Friday night in Dallas, she's a cowboy's dream
Something tells me she'll sit out the first one
Then they'll play George Strait and she'll be gone
Cause heaven knows that girl was born to two-step
And Texas women don't stay lonely long

Lipstick letter on the mirror this morning
said 'Goodbye baby.' You left without warning.
Like a thief in the night, you ran away with my heart.

I can't believe my eyes, must be a bad dream.
You always said we had a good thing.
You never once let on we were fallin' apart.

That ain't no way to go.
Girl it just ain't right.
Don't you think that I deserve to hear you say goodbye?

hello ms. heartbroke sit your sweet self down
its good to your dancin' feet back out on the town
rumor has it you've had trouble with your man
i've had troubles of my own i think i understand

chorus
we'll put out your old flame we'll build a bigger fire
i'll pick up where he left you down and take you so much higher
and if his memory comes around and you think you still care
