Working Man's Ph.d. Lyrics - Singles - Aaron Tippin

You get up every morning 'fore the sun comes up 

Toss a lunchbox into a pickup truck 

A long, hard day sure ain't much fun 

But you've gotta get it started if you wanna get it done 

You set your mind and roll up your sleeves 

You're workin' on a working man's Ph.D 

With your heart in your hands and the sweat on your brow 

You build the things that really make the world go around 

If it works, if it runs, if it lasts for years 

You bet your bottom dollar it was made right here 

With pride, honor and dignity 

From a man with a working man's Ph.D 

Now there ain't no shame in a job well done 

From driving a nail to driving a truck 

As a matter of fact I'd like to set things straight 

A few more people should be pullin' their weight 

If you wanna cram course in reality 

You get yourself a working man's Ph.D 

When the quittin' whistle blows and the dust settles down 

There ain't no trophies or cheering crowds 

You'll face yourself at the end of the day 

And be damn proud of whatever you've made 

Can't hang it on the wall for the world to see 

But you've got yourself a working man's Ph.D
