I'm a blue collar man, had a hammer in my hand,
For the last few years of my life
Working double overtime while you sleep alone at night
Baby I know it's been a long hard ride
Sometimes I forget to say "I love you",
But baby, please know that I do, yeah

I live this life everyday,
I make my share of mistakes,
And every lesson I've learned, I've learned the hard way
I do the best that I can,
And I hope you understand,
After all, I'm just a man

I found a postcard that you've saved, it's turned yellow with age,
Of a beautiful place in the sun
We've been saying, every year, that we're gonna go there,
And run away just the two of us
Well, I put that picture back on your dresser,
Grab my keys, I got to get back to work, yeah

I live this life everyday,
I make my share of mistakes,
And every lesson I've learned, I've learned the hard way
I do the best that I can,
And I hope you understand,
After all, I'm just a man

[Instrumental Break]

I live this life everyday,
I make my share of mistakes,
And every lesson I've learned, I've learned the hard way
I do the best that I can,
And I hope you understand,
After all, I'm just a man
After all, I'm just a man
That's all I am,
Baby, I'm just a man
