(verse 1)

 I'm a Blue collar man had a hammer in my hand,

 For the last few years of my life,

 Workin double over-time while you sleep alone at night,

 baby I know it's been a long hard ride,

(pre-cho)

 Sometimes I forget to say I love you,

 but baby please know that I do yea,

(chorus)

I live this life everyday I make my share of mistakes,

 and every lesson I've learned I've learned the hard way,

I do the the best that I can and I hope you understand,

 After all I'm just a man,

(verse 2)

I found a postcard that you saved just turned yellow with age,

of a beautiful place in the sun,

we've been sayin every year that we're gonna go there and runa away,

just the two of us,

(pre-cho)

well I put that picture back on the dresser,

grabed my key's I gotta get back to work yea,

(chorus)

I live this life everyday I make my share of mistakes,

 and every lesson I've learned I've learned the hard way,

I do the the best that I can and I hope you understand,

 After all I'm just a man,

(lead - E - B - A - B - 2x's)

(chorus)

I live this life everyday I make my share of mistakes,

 and every lesson I've learned I've learned the hard way,

I do the the best that I can and I hope you understand,

 After all I'm just a man,

After all, I'm just a man, That's all I am,

Baby I'm just a man,
