I don't mind workin'
I don't mind drinkin'
When I need to unwind
And I like listenin' to a country song
On a Friday night

I'm a welder in the shop downtown
The dry waller in your brand new house
Yeah, I'm your average joe
I'm the guy that fixed your van
I'm the painter I'm your concrete man
Yeah, I'm your average joe

I've got brothers
And I've got sisters
Fightin' hard for me and you
Yeah, I got a mother and she's been prayin'
They'll all be comin' home real soon

I'm the lightenin' in the pourin' rain
I drive the diesel in the other lane
Yeah, I'm your average joe
I wax the floors in the grocery store
Drop off the boxes at your front door
Yeah, I'm your average joe

Never made a ton of money
Just enough to get us by
But the things that make me rich
Is this woman and these kids of mine

You know you run into me everywhere
You need a hand I'm gonna be right there
I'm your average joe
I love my country and bein' free
Yeah, there're millions of you just like me
'Cause I'm your average joe

Yeah, I'm your average joe
