She don't know
the value of a dollar bill cause
Mama still pays her rent
Got a brand new car
so she can drive all around town and
it don't cost her a cent
Maybe I'm just bitter,
or I'm being cruel,
but when it comes to working for a living well,
I know a thing or two
cause I'm a
hard worker and I work for what I got
cause when you're a blue collar girl well the green sure matters a lot
hard worker and I work til my back aches
just hoping that one of these days I'll catch a break
She works a shift a week
but she's always dying to leave
cause she's got better places to go
what a luxury
to be so careless and free
sweat on her brow, she'll never know
Dad will buy her education
she'll treat it like a party
while I'm stuck here working for a living trying to earn my degree
cause I'm a
hard worker and I work for what I got
cause when you're a blue collar girl well the green sure matters a lot
hard worker and I work til my back aches
just hoping that one of these days I'll catch a break
maybe I'm just bitter
or I'm being cruel
but when it comes to working for a living well
I know a thing or two
cause I'm a
hard worker and I work for what I got
cause when you're a blue collar girl well the green sure matters a lot
hard worker and I work til my back aches
just hoping that one of these days I'll catch a break
