He works way too much for way too little
He drinks way too early til way too late
He hasn't had a raise since New Year's Day in '88
Gets trampled on by everyone 'cept when he comes in here

He's a product of the Haggard generation
He's got a redneck side when you get him agitated
He got the gold tooth look for a stiff right hook he's proud he took
For his right wing stand on Vietnam says he lost his brother there

He yells out Johnny Cash and the band starts to play
Ring of Fire and he walks up and stands there by the stage
And says

Hell yea turn it up right on
Hell yea sounds good sing that song
Guitar man play it all night long
Take me back to where the music hit me
life was good and love was easy

She got an MBA and plush corner office
She got a don't mess with me attitude
She'll close the deals he don't reveal she can feel
The loneliness the emptiness 'cept when she comes in here

She's a product of the me generation
She got a rock and roll side when you get her agitated
She got the tattoo there on her derriere form a spring break dare
In Panama when love was all she thought she'd ever need

She yells out to the band know any Bruce Springsteen
Then she jumps up on the bar and she starts to scream

Hell yea turn it up right on
Hell yea sounds good sing that song
Guitar man play it all night long
Take me back to where the music hit me
life was good and love was easy...
