I work a double shift on Monday
Tuesday I get up before dawn
Wednesday pouring coffee
Thursday night I'm tending the bar
Well, when Friday finally rolls around
I call my rough and rowdy friends and we're honky-tonk bound

I work hard, I play harder
I'm a good timin' American daughter
Redneck, blue collar,
And I party down to my last dollar
I work hard, I work hard, I work hard,
I play harder

I don't waste my time on
Manicures and spray on tans
And I don't pay no never mind
To the callouses I've worn on my hands
You know that people just can't understand why
I'm the first to clock in but the last to say goodbye!

I work hard, I play harder
I'm a good timin' American daughter
Redneck, blue collar,
And I party down to my last dollar
I work hard, I work hard, I work hard,
I play harder

I work hard, I play harder
I'm a good timin' American daughter
Redneck, blue collar,
And I party down to my last dollar
I work hard, I work hard, I work hard,
I play harder

(Gretchen Wilson)
