Five days a week, all week long
I work my fingers to the bone
And if I get laid off, another job I'll seek
'Cause I'm a blue-collar man
And work all I can five days a week
Five days a week, eight hours a day
And then the weekend's mine
And I can blow my mind or kneel and pray
When I was just fifteen, I had to earn my keep
'Cause I'm a blue-collar man
Workin' all I can five days a week
Five days a week, eight hours a day
And then the weekend's mine
And I can blow my mind or kneel and pray
Life ain't free, you got to earn your keep
If you're a blue-collar man
You work all you can five days a week
I work my fingers to the bone
And if I get laid off, another job I'll seek
'Cause I'm a blue-collar man
And work all I can five days a week
Five days a week, eight hours a day
And then the weekend's mine
And I can blow my mind or kneel and pray
When I was just fifteen, I had to earn my keep
'Cause I'm a blue-collar man
Workin' all I can five days a week
Five days a week, eight hours a day
And then the weekend's mine
And I can blow my mind or kneel and pray
Life ain't free, you got to earn your keep
If you're a blue-collar man
You work all you can five days a week
