Everything to know about me [E] is written on this page
[E] A number you can reach me, [F#] my social and my age
Yes, I served in the Army, [F#m] where I learned to shoot
[A] Eighteen months in the desert, [B] born slammed out of my boots
No, I've never been convicted of a [A] crime _ _
[F#m] I could start this job at any [A] time _
I got [E] a strong back, steel toes
[F#m] I rarely call in sick
A [E] good truck, what I don't know
I catch on real quick
I work weekends if I have to
[F#m] Nights and holidays give you [A] forty
And then some, [E] whatever it takes
[F#m] Four dollars and change at [A] the pump _ _
[F#m] The cost of living's [A] high and going [E] up _
I put Robert down as a reference
[F#m] He's known me all my life
[A] We attend the same church
He [E] introduced me to my wife
Gave my last job everything
[F#m] Before it headed south
[A] Took the shoes off of my children's feet
[E] Put food out of their mouths
[F#m] Yesterday, my folks offered [A] to help _ _
[F#m] But they're barely getting by [A] themselves
I got [E] a strong back, steel toes
[F#m] I rarely call in sick
[A] A good truck, what I don't know
[E] I catch on real quick
I work weekends if I have to
[F#m] Nights and holidays give [A] you forty
And then some, [E] whatever it takes
[F#m] Four dollars and change [A] at the pump _ _
[F#m] The cost of living's high and going [E] up _ _
[F#m] I'm sure a hundred others [E] have applied _ _
_ [F#m] Rumor has it you're only taking [A] five
I [F#] got a strong [E] back, steel toes
[F#m] I'm handy with a wrench
[A] There's nothing I can't drive
[E] Nothing I can't fix
I work sun up to sun down
Ain't [F#m] too proud to sweep the floors
[A] Bankers started calling
[E] And the wolves are at my door
[F#m] Four dollars and change [A] at the pump _
[F#m] The cost of living's [A] high and going [E] up
