• I've got blisters on my fingers
    I've got blisters on my toes
    Been working hard for you baby
    You barely even know
    I've been bringing home the bacon
    Been doing it all my life
    For my beautiful baby girl
    And for my lovely gentle wife

    There's been sweat and blood and tears now
    To build this giant strip of steel
    There's been cold and heat and winters
    And days without no meals
    But it's worth it all for you, now
    To see you cozy there at home
    And when I think of you so happy
    It makes me feel so less alone

    So baby I’ll be back soon
    To see your shining face
    To be with you once more
    In my most favorite place
    I’ll be coming back to you
    Whether I’m walking out or not
    And be so warm in my own bed
    Instead of that old sleeping cot
