FREIGHT TRAIN

Hard Hat And A Hammer


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


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 working man


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


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 working man


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


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


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 working man


The working man
 Oh, the working man and woman
