F                  A#
We were just river kids
 C                      F
Pickin' up stones like David did
          A#
Watchin' them longnecks break off
                  C
of Freight Train Bridge
 F                      A#
We went to church in a Detroit car
     C                          F
Our daddies drank draft at the local bar
        A#                                  C
With an achin' back just like old Granddad did

Chorus:
             A#                F
And we like cold keg beer and fixin' up trucks
C                      F
Old bird dogs and the woman we love
A#                                      C
Maxwell House steamin' out of a coffee cup
    A#               F
We say our prayers, send 'em to the sky
 C               F
Bust our backs, barely getting by
    A#           F                C
Carolina to California up to Illinois
               A#   F/A C
Yeah, there's guys like us
              F A# F/A C
Blue collar boys

We're the white paint peeling off a picket fence
The rust stains covering a Craftsman wrench
When the sun's coming up you can bet
we're clocking in
Cash our paycheck, two day break, and do it again

Chorus:
We like cold keg beer and fixin' up trucks
Old bird dogs and the woman we love
Maxwell House steamin' out of a coffee cup
We say our prayers, send 'em to the sky
Bust our backs, barely getting by
Carolina to California up to Illinois
Yeah, there's guys like us
Blue collar boys

       F                 A#
We're worn out boots and old Levi's
     F               A#                C
The wind behind the stars and stripes, and we

Chorus:
And we like cold keg beer and fixin' up trucks
Old bird dogs and the woman we love
Maxwell House steamin' out of a coffee cup
We say our prayers, send 'em to the sky
Bust our backs, barely getting by
Carolina to California up to Illinois
Yeah, there's guys like us
Yeah, there's guys like us
Blue collar boys
Blue collar boys
