I wake up when the sun's still low
Grab a hot shower and a strong cup o' joe
Put on my blue shirt and off I go
To the factory

I clock in and wander to my chair
The sounds of tools and chatter fills up the air
Drown it all out with a stereo blare
At the factory

Turning a wrench all day ain't fun
But I take a lot of pride in a job well done
And I pay my bills and I feed my son
From the factory

I'm studyin' hard, gonna get a degree
This blue collar life ain't the end for me
Come a time soon you won't see me
At the factory

I dream of a day, it's coming soon
I'm gonna get a big office, one with a view
Gonna turn in my blue shirts, and leave my tools there too
At the factory

I'll be a mover and shaker, travel far and near
Gonna have a good life and a real career
Tell the boss where to stick it, the last thing that he'll hear
Goodbye factory
