G C G

[Verse 1]

G                             C                    G
Broken bones and bruises from years of high school ball
G                           D
I got a busted up knee that flares up every fall
G                                            C                G
I never missed a game I earned that ring and every single scar
G                    D                G
Yea and I got it all from workin' hard

C G

[Verse 2]

G                        C                  G
I had my eye on that '96 step side Chevrolet
G                            D
I made myself a promise that it'd be mine someday
G                                  C                   G
So I spend my whole summer bailing hay and mowing yards
G                      D
Yea and I got that ol' truck from workin' hard

G

[Chorus]

C                                            G
Well, I've spent my whole life, chasing that dream and a dollar
C                                     G              D
Busting my butt, sweat and blood, and pouring out my heart
G                                         C                 G
Yea when I look back if all I got is this red neck and blue collar
G                         D                G
Yea at least I got it all from workin' hard

C G

[Bridge]

Yea, ooh...
Em                                     G
And I been playing them honkytonks for going on fifteen years
Em                                         D
Some nights I made a little money and some nights I sang for beer

[Chorus]

G                                C                   G
Well, I put some money down on a farm up in Tennessee
G                                        D
Gonna build a little white house for the dogs, my baby and me
G                                    C                    G
Gonna sit out on the front porch and thank our lucky stars
G                 D                    G
Yea and we got it all from workin' hard

[Outro]

C                                            G
Well, I've spent my whole life, chasing that dream and a dollar
C                                     G              D
Busting my butt, sweat and blood, and pouring out my heart
G                                         C                 G
Yea when I look back if all I got is this red neck and blue collar
G                         D                G
Yea at least I got it all from workin' hard
G                         D
Yea at least I got it all from workin' hard
