With an achin' back
Blood tears and sweat
Blue collar dreams
Keep me in debt
Can't tell you why I don't leave
This old one horse town behind
My good intentions withered on the vine
Hustlin' for nickles
But I can't save a dime
I try to walk that straight and narrow line
Well i need a small vacation
But I ain't got the time
Bright and early I'll be right back to the grind
With an achin' back
Blood tears and sweat
Blue collar dreams
Keep me in debt
Can't tell you why I don't leave
This old one horse town behind
My good intentions withered on the vine
Paycheck to paycheck
Ain't the way things ought to be
Hard times they seem to never end
Yesterday the groceries
Today I'll pay the rent
By Friday all my money will be spent
With an achin' back
Blood tears and sweat
Blue collar dreams
Keep me in debt
Can't tell you why I don't leave
This old one horse town behind
My good intentions withered on the vine
With an achin' back
Blood tears and sweat
Blue collar dreams
Keep me in debt
Can't tell you why I don't leave
This old one horse town behind
My good intentions withered on the vine
I'll kick the can a little further down the line
My good intentions are withered on the vine
