Lyrics
I was born here just the same as you
Another time, another day
I'm sure the good Lord took his time
Made each of us just this way
I walked beside you step by step
And it never crossed my mind
That I would grow up one of the different kind
That didn't stop me from choppin' the wood
Scrapin' my knees like all boys should
Goin' down to the creek in the noonday sun
Wringin' out my shirt when the work got done
First things first, I'm a blue collar man
The scars on my knuckles, dust on my hands
Probably wouldn't have ever known
I've got a man waitin' on me at home
To tell you the truth, I don't wanna fight
I just wanna say one thing out right to you
Ain't we flesh and blood all through?
And ain't we brothers too?
I took a job and worked right by you
Walked down in that hole beside you
Thought I heard some whispers sound
Got found out, word got around
Got made out for somethin' I'm not
Called everything but a child of God
Didn't mind to show it out in the parking lot
So I cut my coal with my head hung down
Just like a stranger in my own town
Got bitter day by day
Went home every night with the mess they made
First things first, I'm a blue collar man
The scars on my knuckles, dust on my hands
Probably wouldn't have ever known
I've got a man waitin' on me at home
To tell you the truth, I don't wanna fight
I just wanna say one thing out right to you
Ain't we flesh and blood all through?
And ain't we brothers too?
Tell me I'm not man enough
To set foot in that mine
Go on and tell me that once more
To my face this time
To tell you the truth, I don't wanna fight
Just wanna say one thing out right to you
Ain't we flesh and blood all through?
And ain't we brothers too?
