Written:Wynn Varble/Leslie Satcher | |
I've seen mornings when a thousand bales of hay | |
Looked like a mountain to a boy my age | |
And I've seen my daddy in that hot southern sun | |
Move those mountains one by one | |
And I've seen that same man come home from the mill | |
Pull forty hours for a hundred-dollar bill | |
I've watched him struggle and I've watched him age | |
Raising a family on a working man's wage | |
I grew up on a working man's wage | |
Blood, sweat and tears on every dollar he made | |
For the little he earned there was so much he gave | |
And I hope I am worthy of a working man's wage | |
I pick this guitar six nights a week | |
Daddy can't believe they're paying me | |
It would be so easy to let it go to my head | |
But there's just one thing that I can't forget | |
I grew up on a working man's wage | |
Blood, sweat and tears on every dollar he made | |
For the little he earned there was so much he gave | |
And I hope I am worthy, I hope I am worthy | |
Of a working man's wage | |
I've seen mornings when a thousand bales of hay | |
Looked like a mountain to a boy my age |
