A Mule and a Man
Tyler Childers

Verse 1:
In a field of green where the sunlight beams,
There's a sturdy mule, she's the stuff of dreams.
She plows the earth with a heart so true,
Like a working man trying to make it through.

Chorus:
Oh, a mule can carry a heavy load,
Just like the sweat on a man's road.
Both are strong in their own ways,
Fighting hard for better days.

Verse 2:
When the sun sets low and the shadows creep,
That mule keeps going, never misses a beat.
With calloused hands and tired eyes,
A working man knows how to survive.

Chorus:
Oh, a mule can carry a heavy load,
Just like the sweat on a man's road.
Both are strong in their own ways,
Fighting hard for better days.

Bridge:
Times are tough, but we don’t back down,
We harness the grit and wear our crowns.
From fields to factories, we grind and toil,
Just like that mule, we’re the salt of the soil.

Verse 3:
So remember the mule when you clock in late,
She knows the weight of a struggling fate.
With every pull and with every strain,
She carries on, just like the man in the grain.

Chorus:
Oh, a mule can carry a heavy load,
Just like the sweat on a man's road.
Both are strong in their own ways,
Fighting hard for better days.

Outro:
So when you feel like you’re losing ground,
Just think of the mule and remember the sound,
Of hooves on dirt and dreams in the air,
We’re all just mules in a world that’s unfair.
