Larry Fleet - Earned It

Lesson number one
Money don't grow on trees
When that rooster crow, I hit my toes
And I rolled up my sleeves
And pushin' rocks and punchin' 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

Buddy, I earned it
Damn right it was worth it
And I'll do it all over again even if I'm hurtin'
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

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 love her son, and she's the one
Everything you've ever wanted
Well, keep showin' up and don't give up
How you think I got your momma?

Buddy, I earned it
Damn right it was worth it
And I'll do it all over again even if I'm hurtin'
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
'Cause, buddy, I earned it, oh yeah

But it don't matter who you are
Just be the best that you can be
You'll sleep at night and understand why
That's lesson number three

'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 hurtin'
'Cause buddy, I earned it
Damn right it was worth it
And I'll do it all over again even if I'm hurtin'
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
Buddy, I earned it, yeah
