Blue Collar Through And Through Lyrics

I am one of them southern boys

Like to get a little rowdy too

Like to raise hell and make a lot of noise to the music that I get into

Only love one God and one woman

Tote your guns

If you start something see it through

That's the way I was raised blue collar through and through

My daddy always worked real hard

Though we didn't have a lot to show

We had a roof on our heads food on the table

He'd pray we make through school

Mama she was wandering around

Always looking what other folks do

But she'd eventually come back home

Just prayin' we'll make it through

Times they weren't always tough

But the good times were a few cause

When you work real hard cuttin' your hands

That's blue collar through and through

I sat down to learn another song

And what did I do

I cut open my heart

And wrote another song for you

I was told I'd never be nothin'

Just doing what I could do

Busting my ass to make ends meet

That's blue collar through and through

Now I got me a piece of paper

Supposed to prove what I can do

But a piece of paper won't pay my bills

I got some work to do

Busting my knuckles on engines

Doing what I can do

It took awhile but I'll be damn'd

That's blue collar through and through

They sent me all around this world

Some things I know is true

Time is your only friend

Cause your enemies he'll show you

Spend your time working

Giving the devil his due

Praying that you'll make it to Heaven

Hoping that you'll make it through

Cause when your cal is bleeding

And you've yourself worked to the bone

Remember in this great big world no one is left alone

So I'll pull out my guitar

And write another song for you

Trust me when you hear my words

That's blue collar through and through

I am one of them southern boys

Like to get a little rowdy too

Like to raise hell and make a lot of noise to the music that I get into

Only love one God and one woman

Tote your guns

If you start something see it through

That's the way I was raised blue collar through and through
