Good Folks Goin' To Work

You want a picture of America
It's good folks goin' to work
Bleedin' blood, sweat, and tears on a blue collar shirt
Bring home the bacon, fry it in a skillet
Got a hunger in our bellies and we can't fill it
Make a little love to heal some of the hurt
Good folks goin' to work

Pipeline boys and construction crews
Thank God for the men and women in blue
Just good folks goin' to work

Through the rain, sleet, and snow
They're carryin' mail to the preachers, the teachers
And the sheriff in jail
Just good folks goin' to work

They're just good folks goin' to work
Blood, sweat, and tears on a blue collar shirt
Bring home the bacon, fry it in a skillet
Got a hunger in our bellies and we can't fill it
You want a picture of America
Land of the dreams, come and get you some
And when the morning comes we're
Just good folks goin' to work

They give you a shot of Penicillin
Rescue you from a burnin' buildin'
Just good folks goin' to work
Plantin' up the field, keepin' people fed
Writin' down the songs for the crazy in your head
Just good folks goin' to work

They're just good folks goin' to work
Blood, sweat, and tears on a blue collar shirt
Bring' home the bacon, fry it in a skillet
Got a hunger in our bellies and we can't fill it
You want a picture of America
Land of the dreams, come and get you some
And when the morning comes we're
Just good folks goin' to work

Yeah, they graduate from high school
And they go to war and our freedom
Yeah, that's what they're fightin' for
And in a flash of light life disappears
And a flag is covered by a mother's tears

It ain't who we ain't
It's who we are
Under fifty stars and thirteen bars
Bringin' home the bacon, fry it in a skillet
Got a hunger in our bellies and we can't fill it
You want a picture of America
Land of the dreams, come and get you some
And when the morning comes we're
Just good folks goin' to work
Yeah, good folks goin' to work
