Like a fish in a tank I've been trapped in my mind for days for days My blood has been boiling My thoughts have been spoiling my brain my brain Lord give me the strength to carry the weight There's blood on my shoulders I'm losing this race Lord give me the strength it's hard to get by on blue collar pay Bills are caught up I'll head out to the post office in town in town Lucky old me there a bill there staring me down Me down Lord give me the strength to carry the weight The fear of this pattern stuck on replay Lord give me the strength it's hard to get by on blue collar pay Boss man said you'll get a dollar Once we build the house up Clayton holler Bids turned in it should be any day Keep on working your life away Lord give me the strength It's hard to get by on blue collar pay My wife wants to travel But they got me working 7 days a week A week My kids ask where's daddy why ain't he here with me Lord give me the strength to carry the weight Of not being there for the good ole days Lord give me the strength it's hard to get by on blue collar pay Boss man said you'll get a dollar Once we build the house up Clayton holler Bids turned in it should be any day Keep on working your life away Lord give me the strength It's hard to get by on blue collar pay Its hard to get by on blue collar pay
