[Verse 1] Lesson number one Money don't grow on trees When that rooster crowed, I hit my toes And I rolled up my sleeves And pushin' rocks and punchin' clocks Broke my back for every dollar I've cut your grass and built your house And I'm proud of this blue collar And anything I've got today I got it the old-fashioned way [Chorus] Buddy, I earned it Damn right it was worth it And I'll do it all over again even if I'm hurtin' Oh, at the end of the day I get to watch my children play I'm satisfied with my simple life 'Cause, buddy, I earned it [Verse 2] Lesson number two Trust ain't a given They won't hand it to ya, they see right through ya That's the way it is with women If you love her, son, and she's the one Everything you've ever wanted Well, keep showin' up and don't give up How you think I got your mama? [Chorus] Buddy, I earned it Damn right it was worth it And I'll do it all over again even if I'm hurtin' Oh, at the end of the day I get to watch my children play I'm satisfied with my simple life 'Cause, buddy, I earned it [Post-Chorus] Mm, 'cause, buddy, I earned it Oh yeah [Bridge] It don't matter who you are Just be the best that you can be And you'll sleep at night and understand why That's lesson number three [Chorus] 'Cause, buddy, I earned it You're damn right it was worth it And I'll do it all over again even if I'm hurtin' 'Cause, buddy, I earned it Damn right it was worth it And I'll do it all over again even if I'm hurtin' Oh, at the end of the day I get to watch my children play I'm satisfied with my simple life 'Cause, buddy, I earned it [Outro] Buddy, I earned it, yeah
