She had a ring on her finger And she held the key to his heart And he was the man she'd always wanted And God had given them a brand new start They both wanted kids, a boy and a girl A place in the country, a farm with a horse A piece of the earth that they could mold Into a place that they would call their home Hard working, blue collar, working for the dollar An American dream living off of the land Each morning he started by asking the father To bless this place that they would call their home Now that little boy, you see he's growin' up and playin' ball And that little girl, well she's going to her senior prom And it won't be long now till they're all alone again And that little farm will be as silent as the wind Hard working, blue collar, working for the dollar An American dream living off of the land Each morning he started by asking the father To bless this place that they would call their home Sittin in the pickup that he bought new in '68 He says to his grandon, boy go get that gate And as he watches him a tear comes to his eye Cause he's so thankful for what he's got in his life Hard working, blue collar, working for the dollar An American dream living off of the land Each morning he started by asking the father To bless this place that they would call their home
