Chorus / Description : The song Workin' Hard by Larry Fleet is about the value of hard work and the rewards it brings in life. It emphasizes the satisfaction and fulfillment that comes from putting in effort and pursuing goals. While the song does not contain any explicit biblical references, the theme of hard work and reaping the rewards aligns with biblical principles like Proverbs 14:23 (NIV): All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.
Broken bones and bruises from years of high school ball
I got a busted up knee that flares up every fall
I never missed a game I earned that ring and every single scar
Yea and I got it all from workin' hard
I had my eye on that '96 step side Chevrolet
I made myself a promise that it'd be mine someday
So I spend my whole summer bailing hay and mowing yards
Yea and I got that ol' truck from workin' hard
Well, I've spent my whole life, chasing that dream and a dollar
Busting my butt, sweat and blood, and pouring out my heart
Yea when I look back if all I got is this red neck and blue collar
Yea at least I got it all from workin' hard
Yea, ooh...
And I been playing them honkytonks for going on fifteen years
Some nights I made a little money and some nights I sang for beer
Well, I put some money down on a farm up in Tennessee
Gonna build a little white house for the dogs, my baby and me
Gonna sit out on the front porch and thank our lucky stars
Yea and we got it all from workin' hard
Well, I've spent my whole life, chasing that dream and a dollar
Busting my butt, sweat and blood, and pouring out my heart
Yea when I look back if all I got is a red neck and blue collar
Yea at least I got it all from workin' hard
Yea at least I got it all from workin' hard
