Discover the story of the song > Hard Hat And A Hammer – Alan Jackson

The song is about a man who works hard every day to make a living. He wears work clothes, brings his own lunch and drinks tea. Even though he's just an average guy with an average income, the work he does is important because it helps to keep the world together. When he retires, someone else will take his place doing the same job. The song ends by saying that working people are important and should be respected.
