Colt Ford, Charlie Daniels - Overworked & Underpaid lyrics

Well here's to the teacher
In every single school
That's trying not to bend while the
Kids break all the rules
Yeah this is for the farmer
That's prayin' for the rain
And tryin' to feed this country
Despite the price of grain
Yeah we all need to thank the
Firemen for takin' all the heat
And the boys in blue for what they do
To keep it safe out on the street

Overworked and underpaid
The ones who make the country great
Don't be laid up in the shade
They hit it hard every day
It's a real deal, blue collar
Bustin' butt to make a dollar
Overworked and underpaid

I salute all the troops that
Fightin' in the foreign land
And all the families prayin' hard to
Bring 'em back to them
To the nurses on the graveyard
Shift handin' out the hope
And moms and dads with extra jobs
Just tryin' to stay afloat
Ole Buck down on main street
Workin' Sunday on my car
And the boys in the band in the beat
Up vans splittin' tips right out the jar

Overworked and underpaid
The ones who make the country great
Don't be laid up in the shade
They hit it hard every day
It's a real deal, blue collar
Bustin' butt to make a dollar
Overworked and underpaid

To the long haul truckers
Hard workin' mothers
And the folks in the National Guard
The steel mill workers, and oil rig diggers
'Cause every day the hit it hard
American tax payers all the brick layers
And the folks haulin' all our trash
And if you don't like that you can hit
The road jack and kiss our American ass

Overworked and underpaid
The ones who make the country great
Don't be laid up in the shade
They hit it hard every day
It's a real deal, blue collar
Bustin' butt to make a dollar
Overworked and underpaid
