AMERICAN MADE LIFE
Lyrics by Mary Kincaid
Got a factory job
Don't own a suit
Build widgets and whatzits
in Redwing boots
Punching that clock
Working overtime
Livin' paycheck to paycheck
Ain't saved a dime
But Sunday game
got my hand on my heart
Know every word of that song
and I ain't that smart
I'm just a broken down, still tickin' work out man
Trying to get by the best I can
Sweating red, white and blue
ain't a sacrifice
To live this dream
it's a bargain price
Damn, I'm proud of my American Made Life
All them one-percenters
Should work my line
For just one day
I'd be on Cloud Nine
Instead of bustin' my behind
for a pat on the back
from a twenty-somethin' foreman
who don't know Jack
I know this one-horse town
won't remember my name
"Cuz us working guys get
no claim to fame
I'm just a broken down, still tickin' work out man
Trying to get by the best I can
Sweating red, white and blue
ain't a sacrifice
To live this dream
it's a bargain price
Damn, I'm proud of my American Made Life
Yeah I'm the kinda guy
if I had my way
everything would say
U-S-A
I'm just a broken down, still tickin' work out man
Trying to get by the best I can
Sweating red, white and blue
ain't a sacrifice
To live this dream
it's a bargain price
Damn, I'm proud of my American Made Life
End of the day
Got me Bud on ice
Hug my kids
Kiss my wife
And I thank God
for my American Made Life
