Forgotten Man

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Go to bed early, wake up at dawn Swingin' from the hip, punchin' at the clock Build a hell of a life, what more could you want Than a week's paid vacation and a pick up loan? Yeah [Verse 2] I got a little white house with a flag in the front Way that it is is the way that it was Dirt turns to mud here, steel turns to rust The color of my neck's still the same as my blood [Chorus] Daddy spent his whole life workin' for a dollar Name on his patch, more like a badge of honor Sent me off to school, tried to turn me to a scholar Can't unpaint the blue on my collar [Verse 3] Gas is gettin' too damn high and land is too Can't get your hands on an acre that ain't handed down to you Towers movin' in, sendin' rent through the roof But we can't lay down so wе lace up our boots [Chorus] Daddy spent his whole lifе workin' for a dollar Name on his patch, more like a badge of honor Sent me off to school, tried to turn me to a scholar Can't unpaint the blue on my collar [Instrumental] [Verse 4] Here's to their backs givin' out and callous cracked hands The bank pissed away your retirement plans But I'm still holdin' that flame 'cause I still give a damn About that beaten-down, forgotten man [Chorus] My daddy spent his whole life workin' for a dollar Name on his patch, more like a badge of honor Sent me off to school, tried to turn me to a scholar Can't unpaint the blue on my collar Daddy spent his whole life workin' for a dollar Name on his patch, more like a badge of honor Sent me off to school, tried to turn me to a scholar Can't unpaint the blue on my collar
