Lesson number one
Money don't grow on trees
When that rooster crowed
I hit my toes and I rolled up my sleeves
And pushing rocks and punching clocks
Broke my back for every dollar
I've cut your grass and built your house
And I'm proud of this blue collar
And anything I've got today
I got it the old-fashioned way
But yeah, I earned it
Damn right it was worth it
And I'll do it all over again
Even if I'm hurting
I'll have the edge
At the end of the day
I get to watch my children play
I'm satisfied with my simple life
This buddy I earned it
Lesson number two
Trust ain't a given
They won't hand it to you
They'll see right through you
That's the way it is with women
And if you love a son
And she's the one
Everything you've ever wanted
Will keep showing up
And don't give up
How you thank God you mind them
But yeah, I earned it
Damn right it was worth it
And I'll do it all over again
Even if I'm hurting
I'll have the edge
At the end of the day
I get to watch my children play
I'm satisfied with my simple life
This buddy I earned it
This buddy I earned it
This buddy I earned it



Oh yeah
It don't matter who you are
Just be the best that you can be
And you're sleeping now
And understand why
It's lesson number three
This buddy I earned it
I earned it, damn right it was worth it
And I'll do it all over again, even if I'm hurting
Cause buddy, I earned it, damn right it was worth it
And I'll do it all over again, even if I'm hurting
I'll have the end of the day, I get to watch my children play
I'm satisfied with my simple life, cause buddy, I earned it
Buddy, I earned it, yeah
