Well we take it all week on the chin with a grin 
Till we make it to a friday night 
And it's church league softball holler ‘bout a bad call 
Preacher breakin' up the fight 
Then later on at the green light tavern 
Well everybody's gatherin' as friends 
And the beer is pourin' till monday mornin' 
Where we start all over again

  We (C) fall (G) down and we get up 
  We walk (F) proud and we talk tough 
  We (C) got (G) heart and we got nerve 
  (F) Even if we are a (G) bit disturbed
