Grandpa's down by the two lane
In the blazing sun or the pouring rain
Sells tomatoes from the back of his pickup truck
Reads the Bible line for line
While sippin’ on some homemade wine

That's who he is
And what he does
He's just like us

My Dad's got a crippled hand, a casualty of Vietnam
But he's still down at the sawmill every day
Oh and first thing ‘fore the break of dawn
Mama's got his eggs and the coffee on

My whole life, it’s been that way

We come from back in the hollers
We got sweat on our blue collars
The living's hard but the living's good
You see God sent the heavens down
And hung them ‘round my neck of the woods

Just as sure as the river flows we take care of our own
Step right up when someone needs a friend
Last year on the Johnson farm
A fire wiped out the house and barn
The whole town showed up to build them back again, all right

We come from back in the hollers
We got sweat on our blue collars
The living's hard but the living's good
You see God sent the heavens down
And hung them ‘round my neck of the woods

We come from back in the hollers
We got sweat on our blue collars
The living's hard but the living's good
You see God sent the heavens down
And hung them ‘round my neck of the woods

You see God sent the heavens down
And hung them ‘round my neck of the woods
