Hard Hat And A HammerAlan Jackson

Released: May 3, 2010

Songwriter: Alan Jackson

Producer: Keith Stegall

[Verse 1]
Lace-up boots and faded jeans
A homemade sandwich, a half jug of tea
Average Joe, average pay
Same ol' end and same ol' day

[Chorus]
But there's nothing wrong with a hard hat and a hammer
Kind of glue that sticks this world together
Hands of steel and cradle of the Promised Land
God bless the workin' man

[Verse 2]
All week long making a living
Life keeps takin', he keeps giving
Behind the scene, below the grade
Hardly noticed but part of everything

[Chorus]
But there's nothing wrong with a hard hat and a hammer
Kind of glue that sticks this world together
Hands of steel and cradle of the Promised Land
God bless the workin' man

[Verse 3]
He gives his life, then fades away
Another young man, takes his place
Average Joe, average pay
Same ol end, same old' day

[Chorus]
But there's nothing wrong with a hard hat and a hammer
Kind of glue that sticks this world together
Hands of steel and cradle of the Promised Land

[Chorus]
No, there's nothing wrong with a hard hat and a hammer
Kind of glue that sticks this world together
Hands of steel and cradle of the Promised Land
God bless the workin' man

[Outro]
The working man
Oh, the working man
And woman
