Tony and Blake,

Are these the same blue collared guys who're looking forward to the weekend in "Blood, Sweat and Beer(s)?"

BTO did a song many years back called "Blue Collar" which addressed the same theme as this, not that it's a repeat, just reminded me of it.

My biggest nit, and it's really more of a question needing opinions, is whether a farmer (am I right in assuming that's what this guy is?) is considered a blue-collar worker. I've always thought of blue-collar workers as more industrial (factory, assembly line, etc.). If I'm wrong, then this lyric cooks.

I like this line, but would make one change:

IN a white collar world,
He's a blue collar man.

The only thing that had me stumbling is the first four lines of the chorus. I read this lyric as a pretty bouncy, upbeat number (as you described at the top), but the meter and stresses in the first part of the chorus made that kind of difficult. Maybe those lines could be smoothed out some.

Really good writing, though, another fine collab.
