A poor boy grew up in a trailer in the woods
A Bible and a belt taught him what's bad and what's good
He worked hard on his land but in class he gave no damns
And that's just the start of his story
A blue collared boy

On graduation day well he wore that cap with pride
Brought up by a system that'd let him down for his whole life
He loved God and his country but he worked too hard to see
Uncle Sam don't give a single damn
For a blue collared boy like me

He's been let down one too many times
Workin sixty hours a week and he don't ever see a dime
Between bills and bail it's a living hell and he's barely getting by
But he still holds his head high
Cause he's a blue collared boy until the day he dies

With a baby on the way the boy grips that bottle tight
He wonders where he went wrong and why life's a constant fight
He's never done nothing to no one and always obeys the rules
It just seems like you can never win
When your collar is blue

He's been let down one too many times
Workin sixty hours a week and he don't ever see a dime
Between bills and bail it's a living hell and he's barely getting by
But he still holds his head high
Cause he's a blue collared boy until the day he dies

Well his hands are hard and wrinkled and his face is tired and tried
His hearts as big as ever and he's still got that American pride
He tells his son he loves him as he sends him off to school
He says boy don't go do the things I do
So when you grow up your collar won't be blue

He's been let down one too many times
Workin sixty hours a week and he don't ever see a dime
Between bills and bail it's a living hell and he's barely getting by
But he still holds his head high
Cause he's a blue collared boy until the day he dies
