Covered in sweat,tattoos,and scars

But somehow he finds the energy to romp and play out in the yard

come tonight he'll tuck them into bed
G
get up in the morning and start it all over again

He seen a lot of good men give it all

and he draws his pay on Friday morning

he might stumble but he ain't gonna fall
