Intro
Verse 1
10:00 On A Friday Night
An Old Man Looks About Seventy-Nine
Has A Lot Of Painful Weight On His Heavy Heart
So He Stops A Younger Man On The Way To His Car
Says, "How's It Going, How You Doing There, Son?
I Like Your Truck, Looks Like It Runs
But You Had To Work A Lot Of Late Nights For That
How Much Did It Cost, If You Don't Mind Asking?
'Cause I Know You And I Was Just The Same
I Was Wasting My Life For That Payday
And At Seventy-Five, I Lost My Wife
As Jesus Took Her Up To Heaven
And Some Of The Last Words She Left With Me
Was 'I Wish We Could Have Spent More Time Together'..."
Chorus
"'Cause You Were Always Out On The Road
Trying To Bring Me Home All The Silver And Gold
When All I Wanted Was To Hold
The Hand Of My Sweet Loving Man
So I'm Gonna Leave You With One More Thing
I Don't Mean To Make You Feel Guilty In Any Way
But Curse That Blue Collar
'Cause You Were Always Chasing A Dollar"
Verse 2
Now I Know A Man's Got To Work
And What Good Is He If He Don't Hurt?
But Just Remember That There's A Fine Line
And If He Crosses It Then He Just Might Find
That He Hurt His Wife And He Hurt His Family
'Cause Addiction Comes Not Just In Gambling
But Working All Those Overtime Hours
So Get Off Work Early And Bring Her Some Flowers
'Cause At Seventy-Five, I Lost My Wife
As Jesus Took Her Up To Heaven
And Some Of The Last Words She Left With Me
Was 'I Wish We Could Have Spent More Time Together'..."
Chorus
"'Cause You Were Always Out On The Road
Trying To Bring Me Home All The Silver And Gold
When All I Wanted Was To Hold
The Hand Of My Sweet Loving Man
So I'm Gonna Leave You With One More Thing
I Don't Mean To Make You Feel Guilty In Any Way
But Curse That Blue Collar
'Cause You Were Always Chasing A Dollar"
