Ronnie wasn't much on the thought of a coat and tie   There ain't much good to a man wearing steel toed boots from 8 to 5   He's been known to pop a top on a brew   He came off a little rough sometimes, but the folks that know him knew      If you can look past a dirty shirt   See beyond greasy hands    You can see a heart hard at work   And a damn good man      Army green seemed to suit him more than college life   Well, that's what his old man did   And he turned out all right   He never got him that great big house or a fancy car   But y'all it ain't the neighborhood you're in,    It's the neighbor that you are      But if you can look past a dirty shirt   See beyond greasy hands    You can see a heart hard at work   And a damn good man      He's got scars and an angel on his arm that he got in Saigon in '65   To most folks he ain't nothing more than the ol' boy on the corner changing tires      But If look past a dirty shirt   See beyond greasy hands    You're gonna find a heart hard at work      Yeah, if you can look past a dirt shirt   See beyond greasy hands   You'll find a heart hard at work   And a damn good man      Kinda like my dad
