[Chorus]
With an achin' back, blood, tears, and sweat
Blue-collar dreams keep me in debt
Can't tell you why I don't leave this old one-horse town behind
My good intentions withered on the vine
[Verse 1]
Hustlin' for nickles, but I can't save a dime
I try to walk that straight and narrow line
Well, I need a small vacation, but I ain't got the time
Bright and early, I'll be back to the grind
[Chorus]
With an achin' back, blood, tears, and sweat
Blue-collar dreams keep me in debt
Can't tell you why I don't leave this old one-horse town behind
My good intentions withered on the vine
[Verse 2]
Paycheck-to-paycheck ain't the way things ought to be
Hard times, they seem to never end
Yesterday, the groceries; today, I'll pay the rent
By Friday, all my money will be spent
[Chorus]
With an achin' back, blood, tears, and sweat
Blue-collar dreams keep me in debt
Can't tell you why I don't leave this old one-horse town behind
My good intentions withered on the vine
[Chorus]
With an achin' back, blood, tears, and sweat
Blue-collar dreams keep me in debt
Can't tell you why I don't leave this old one-horse town behind
My good intentions withered on the vine
I'll kick the can a little further down the line
My good intentions are withered on the vine
