My daddy he's been working nearly ever day
I still remember how he used to say
Meat in the freezer's like money in the bank
My daddy he's been working nearly ever day
Seen lots of my buddies go to school
Buying up houses with the swimming pools
I'd rather live here like the poor folks do
Seen lots of my buddies go to school
Well there ain't no shame in working hard
Driving a truck or in the lumber yard
Swinging a hammer won't make you a star
There ain't no shame in working hard
I've never been afraid of getting dirt on my hands
Not afraid to tell you I'm a union man
Work like a dog like my dear ol dad
I've never been afraid of getting dirt on my hands
I've put many miles underneath my feet
I think about quitting every time I leave
Out on the road for two or three weeks
I've put many miles underneath my feet
Well there ain't no shame in working hard
Driving a truck or in the lumber yard
Swinging a hammer won't make you a star
There ain't no shame in working hard
Well there ain't no shame in working hard
Driving a truck or in the lumber yard
Swinging a hammer won't make you a star
There ain't no shame in working hard
Ain't no shame in working hard
Making someone's coffee or working on a car
Cutting someone's hair won't make you a star
There ain't no shame in working hard
Ain't no shame in working hard
