Aaron Tippin - Working Man's Ph.D. Lyrics






You get up every morning 'fore the sun comes up
Toss a lunchbox into a pickup truck
A long, hard day sure ain't much fun
But you've gotta get it started if you wanna get it done
You set your mind and roll up your sleeves
You're workin' on a working man's Ph.D.

With your heart in your hands and the sweat on your brow
You build the things that really make the world go around
If it works, if it runs, if it lasts for years
You bet your bottom dollar it was made right here
With pride, honor and dignity
From a man with a working man's Ph.D.

Now there ain't no shame in a job well done
From driving a nail to driving a truck
As a matter of fact I'd like to set things straight
A few more people should be pullin' their weight
If you wanna cram course in reality
You get yourself a working man's Ph.D.

When the quittin' whistle blows and the dust settles down
There ain't no trophies or cheering crowds
You'll face yourself at the end of the day
And be damn proud of whatever you've made
Can't hang it on the wall for the world to see
But you've got yourself a working man's Ph.D.

Now there ain't no shame in a job well done
From driving a nail to driving a truck
As a matter of fact I'd like to set things straight
A few more people should be pullin' their weight
If you wanna cram course in reality
You get yourself a working man's Ph.D.

    Thank you Arron, people complain about working at an amazon warehouse.. well let me tell you brother, i got one of those phd's you speak of.. was very hard work and not for everyone.. but i loved every moment of it, because it meant i worked for somethin.. that somethin'? the American People .. and I am damn proud I was able to give the best of me to them.. anyone one who bitches about the hard work.. come talk to me.. cause you are nothin but sissies... and babies..

    P.... ....

    the people who shop at Amazon, know how hard we work and are very grateful, I love the people who shop at amazon.. I will had always shared the great reviews we got with my crew in order to keep them motivated for who they worked for, they work for the people.. I love them all.. however i also recently worked for walmart.. let me tell you that company is the most ungrateful to both its workers and its shoppers.. the bottom line for them is money.. for amazon it is also money. give you that.. but amazon appreicates its people and they work hard for it.. and walmart does not apprecieate its people and so they dont work as hard for the publics suppor.t.. the workin mans pay goes to Amazon.. the appreciation will show in the service you recieve.. Workin mans PHD? yea.. i got that.. :* love you Arron..

  45. C.... F....

    Aaron Tippin is jacked...

  46. D.... S....

  47. C.... R....

    Everyday after work I play this. Electrician here y’all

  48. S.... ....

    No shame here

  49. m.... d....

    I'll never forget years ago when I was working for Western Salvage and the local radio station sent this out to us while we were working. Rocking song.

  50. j.... ....

    Aaron is ones bad ass mfer . He makes great videos with a strong positive message. He sure did it right and good, just the way God wanted

  51. b.... l....

    Check out his third eye

  52. b.... l....

    Trailer park living working at fraenkel company

    Olive branch miss

  53. J.... L....

    534 soyboys watched this ,for all milliniels this is what a real man looks ,sounds and talks like

    J.... L....

    This younger generation is gender confused. They've literally bought into their teachers and professors progressive bullshit hook, line and sinker.

  54. B.... N....

    The 532 that disliked this don't even have their GED.

  55. D.... F....

    All 529 thumbs down are probably from people on welfare and food stamps.

    D.... F....

    😂you got that right.

    D.... F....

    Hahaha that's real as hell😂

    D.... F....

    U mean liberals

  56. u.... ....

    When america was great and everyone was trying to work and make a dollar

  57. M.... S....

    I meant literally a disgrace to real country music. Stupid autocorrect lol

  58. M.... S....

    This is a true country song, a real country song. Unlike that bullshit they play on the radio, these days. The music played nowdays is little a disgrace to real country music

  59. S.... 1....

    I'm okay with just working 8 hrs. I've worked at a big company making more money and I was miserable. It was such a mindless job. What I've learned was that money doesn't mean shit if you're miserable at your job. I work in a small shop now and it's laid back and I love it.

  60. l.... n....

    You gotta get it started if you want to get it done.

  61. E.... J....

    Dear Aaron, if you read this please start making music again, and go to the CMA's and beat the shit out of Jason Aldean, and Luke Bryan on stage live!

  62. r.... r....

    My man and yours charla lol yours truly I jusss like dem tunes

  63. C.... S....

    Aaron tipping is one of the best ever I would love to him him live. He is a man's man

  64. T.... ....

    505 foreigners were invaded;[-

  65. A.... G....

    I love how true this song is now and days.... Alot people need to get off their ass and work for what they want or what they need... Not just be handed it..

  66. M.... M....

    A workin mans mustache!

  67. S.... B....

    As much as I love this man and the song. Sadly this isn't real anymore.

    S.... B....

    Sable Burden my crew works 30 days straight, 10-14 hours a day. Definitely up before the sun and no room for people who don't pull weight.

  68. J.... J....

    This song is a Freight Railroader like me's theme song!! Definitely have a working man's PHD

    J.... J....

    Let's not forget Merchant Sailors, Longshoremen, Truckers, Roughnecks and oil rig hands, welders, saturation divers, and construction crews

  69. S.... G....

    This song is awesome. I grew up working in chicken houses in East Texas. Been at the Houston Fire Department since I was 24 and don't plan on stopping until 54.

  70. M.... K....

    This is the song for anyone who believes in perfection through practice. Like Johnny Cash put it: every day, in every way, I'm getting better and better. Way to live, way to die.

  71. E.... A....

    Actually as a man who has spent my entire life playing by the rules, going to school, serving in the military, going to college et.. et.. et.. I have a Luv-Hate relationship with this video. Though I have been an Aaron Tippin fan for over 20 years he gets the issue only half right. All people need to pull their weight but so did the slaves of Egypt. He seems to have no problem pointing out the people that don't work (They cant find a damn job) while making excuses for his slave masters exploiting their labor & counting their shekels who also never worked an honest day in their lives either. Honest mans working PHD, stop judging others by their wealth & the lack of it.. Simple fact is "Aaron" maybe more people would be "Pulling their weight" if we hang more 'Bankers".. How about making these paper pushing billionaires get a real job.. There is an Idea pal..

    E.... A....

    You feel better now...? It's a song, well written and sung...Not history lesson or a politician asking for a vote....try enjoying the song :)

    E.... A....

    @MaxGidi People listen to or like & relate to songs for personal reasons otherwise they would not listen to the lyrics in the first place. You also know for a fact that songs are often written to support political or religious ideology including his songs of "Patriotism".. For you to say songs are not "History" or "Political" is pure hyprocracy. Yes I do feel better & I stand by my opinion

    E.... A....

    @Eddie Allen I have said no such thing ... You say I said " I said the songs are not ""History"" and you included ""Political"" as well.... Read again if you think otherwise... If you wish to talk of how the CIA along with this Bought out government is now doing the will of the Oligarchy and "We The People" are no longer a voice wherein your voter nor mine count, Perhaps I would entertain you line of thought... Irregardless "It's a damn well sung song by damn good Country singer who I can assure you "paid his dues to" enjoy the song :)

  72. H.... S....
