I grew up in fishin town
Born to a Captain who knows his way around the sea
And he taught me
Never to settle for settling down
Gotta go when the tide goes out
Better hit it fast while the season lasts
Cause when it's over times can get real hard
The bars are full and the boats are bare
Life is good but it ain't all fair
So raise a glass and say a prayer
And thank the lord we're all still here
When it's bad we all weather through
On blue collar bayou
I've been accused and I won't deny I
Cuss like sailor and always fight for what I want
Even when I'm wrong
Work for a living to make a life but
Life ain't livin' less you're living it right
And I'm right at home right where I belong
Where 2 for ones, and 1 for All's find me
The bars are full and the boats are bare
Life is good but it ain't all fair
So raise a glass and say a prayer
And thank the lord we're all still here
When it's bad we all weather through
On blue collar bayou
Bars are full and the boats are bare
Life is good but it ain't all fair
Another round might do us in
So throw your arms around your friends
Weathers bad but we all weather through
Better waves are bound for me and you
On blue collar bayou
