[Verse 1]

Lesson number one

Money don’t grow on trees

When that rooster crowed, I hit my toes and I rolled up my sleeves

And Pushing rocks and punching clocks

Broke my back for every dollar

I’ve cut your grass, and built your house

And I’m proud of this blue collar

And anything I’ve got today

I got it the old fashioned way

[Chorus]

Buddy I earned it

Damn right it was worth it

And I’ll do it all over again even if I’m hurting

Oh at the end of the day

I get to watch my children play

I’m satisfied with my simple life

‘Cause buddy I earned it

[Verse 2]

Lesson number two

Trust ain’t a given

They won’t hand it to ya, they see right through ya

That’s the way it is with women

If you lovе her son, and she’s the onе

Everything you’ve ever wanted

Well keep showing up and don’t give up

How you think I got your momma

[Chorus]

Buddy I earned it

Damn right it was worth it

And I’ll do it all over again even if I’m hurting

Oh at the end of the day

I get to watch my children play

I’m satisfied with my simple life

‘Cause buddy I earned it

[Post-Chorus]

Mmm ‘cause buddy I earned it oh yeah

[Bridge]

It don’t matter who you are

Just be the best that you can be

And you’ll sleep at night and understand why that’s lesson number three

[Pre-Chorus]

‘Cause buddy I earned it

You’re damn right it was worth it

And I’ll do it all over again even if I’m hurting

[Chorus

‘Cause buddy I earned it

Damn right it was worth it

And I’ll do it all over again even if I’m hurting

Oh at the end of the day

I get to watch my children play

I’m satisfied with my simple life

‘Cause buddy I earned it

[Outro]

Buddy I earned it yeah
