about

Inspired equally by Benny's Navy veteran/lifelong mechanic grandfather and countless friends in Union and labor jobs, this is for everyone who sweats, bleeds, or breaks their backs to earn their pay.

lyrics

Here's another song for the American soldier
Not just the ones in military uniform
In a never-ending battle for your very survival
Tryin' to make enough to keep your family warm
Bloody knuckles wipin' back the sweat in your eyes
Punches on the clock are how you measure your life
Red-blooded grit, determination and drive
Are our source of national pride

Chorus:
You make the best of what is handed you
Earning everything you get is all that you can do
The future of our nation rests upon your backs
We celebrate your sacrifice
With a song for the working class

Quittin' time's the hour that the job is completed
'Just enough' is just enough to get the work done
Are you living to work, or are you working to live?
Every day it feels you're livin' under the gun
Bruised and dirty knuckles wipe the tears from your eyes
From the pain of givin' up a life so you can provide
Security through your sweat and toil
It's the source of your family's pride

Chorus:
You make the best of what is handed you
Earning everything you get is all that you can do
The future of our nation rests upon your backs
We celebrate your sacrifice
With a song for the working class
