[Intro]
A D A D
A D A D
 
 
[Verse]
AGo to bed early, wake up at dawn
D ASwinging from the hip and punching at the clock
 
Build a hell of a life what more could you want
N.C. (D) (A)Than a week's paid vacation and a pick up loan
 
Yeah
 
A D A D
A D A D
 
 
[Verse]
AI got a little white house with a flag in the front
D AWay that it is, is the way that it was
 
Dirt turns to mud here, steel turns to rust
N.C. (D) (A)The color of my neck's still the same as my blood
 
 
[Chorus]
A D ADaddy spent his whole life working for a dollar
D AName on his patch, more like a badge of honor
D ASent me off to school, tried to turn me to a scholar
N.C.
Can't unpaint the blue on my collar
 
A D A D
 
 
[Verse]
AGas is getting too damn high and land is too
D ACan't get your hands on an acre, that ain't handed down to you
 
Towers moving in, sending rent through the roof
D ABut we can't lay down, so we lace up our boots
 
 
[Chorus]
A D ADaddy spent his whole life working for a dollar
D AName on his patch, more like a badge of honor
D ASent me off to school, tried to turn me to a scholar
N.C.
Can't unpaint the blue on my collar
 
A A A A A A
A A A A A A
 
 
[Break]
AHere's to their backs giving out and callous cracked hands
D AThe bank pissed away your retirement plans
 
But I'm still holding that flame
 
'Cause I still give a damn
D AAbout that beaten down forgotten man
 
 
[Chorus]
N.C. D AMy daddy spent his whole life working for a dollar
D AName on his patch, more like a badge of honor
D ASent me off to school, tried to turn me to a scholar
D ACan't unpaint the blue on my collar
 
A D ADaddy spent his whole life working for a dollar
D AName on his patch, more like a badge of honor
D ASent me off to school, tried to turn me to a scholar
N.C.
Can't unpaint the blue on my collar
 
 
[Outro]
