Salt of the earth through and through
He’s just a regular guy
Working every hour God sends
Just trying to get his family by
He’s out there doing the tough stuff
Things most folks wouldn’t do
But he’s got mouths to feed at home
And hard times to push through
A quick kiss for his wife in the morning
Makes sure the kid’s are tucked in tight
Usually out before the sun’s up
Don’t get back ’til late at night
Coffee in his hand, lunch packed and ready
Cranks up the truck, heads towards town
He knows he got a job to do
And is not going to let his family down
Oh, he’ll do anything for his loved ones
And drop everything for a friend
Faith, family, and country
That’s what keeps him going ’til the end
Even on days he feels like quitting
He just digs down deep and stays
He ain’t rich in cash or fancy things
But he’s wealthy in so many other ways
Sun beating down or the cold wind blowing
He’s out there grinding, just keeps on going
Dirt on his face, hands scarred and rough
Whatever life throws at him, he’s tough enough
From haulin’ loads to fallin’ trees
Moving dirt, or whatever the good lord needs
He’ll get the job done, he’ll see it through
‘Cause Faith, family, and country, brother, that’s the truth
He might be tired, bruised, and sore
But you won’t hear him grumbling, that ain’t what he’s for
Before he eats, he always bows his head low
Thankful for the blessings, and watching his kids grow
He teaches ’em right, teaches ’em true
Making sure they know what they’re supposed to do
Oh, he’ll do anything for his loved ones
And drop everything for a friend
Faith, family, and country
That’s what keeps him going ’til the end
Even on days he feels like quitting
He just digs down deep and stays
He ain’t rich in cash or fancy things
But he’s wealthy in so many other ways
Some folks chase money, some chase the big name
But he just keeps living, trying to win at his own game
The salt of the earth, and the life they lead
They’re living examples for you and me
Oh, he’ll do anything for his loved ones
And drop everything for a friend
Faith, family, and country
That’s what keeps him going ’til the end
