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
