Honest Day's Pay

Sunrise whispers through the pines Rooster crowin' it's my time Lace up the boots pull on my hat Gonna wrangle with the chores that's a fact Plowin' fields in the summer heat Sweat on my brow but ain't skippin' a beat Hands calloused from the work I do Breakin' my back just to push on through It's an honest day's pay for an honest day's work Sweet reward in the dirt and the smirk When the sun lays down at the end of the day I'm proud of the life that I live this way Truck's old but it still runs strong Gets me where I'm headed where I belong From fixin' fence posts to mendin' the gate Hard work's a promise I won't ever break Rain or shine it's just my way of life Built on the back roads and the long nights With a cold beer and a front porch view It's a simple life but it's honest and true It's an honest day's pay for an honest day's work Sweet reward in the dirt and the smirk When the sun lays down at the end of the day I'm proud of the life that I live this way
