Good Folks Goin' To Work

(专辑： The Outlaw Side Of Me - 2023)

You want a picture of America?
It's good folks going to work
Bleeding 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 going to work

Pipeline boys and construction crews
Thank God for the men and the women in blue
Just good folks going to work
Through the rain, sleet and snow they're carrying mail
To the preachers, the teachers and the sheriff in jail
Just good folks going to work

They're just good folks going 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 morning comes, we're just good folks going to work

They give you a shot of penicillin
Rescue you from a burning building
Just good folks going to work
Planting up the field, keeping people fed
Writing down the songs for the crazy in your head
Just good folks going to work

They're just good folks going 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 morning comes, we're just good folks going to work

Yeah, they graduate from high school
And they go to war
And our freedom
Yeah, that's what they're fighting 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
Bringing 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 morning comes, we're just good folks going to work
Yeah, good folks going to work
