Penned by Seals, Kathy White and Bill Whyte, “Deeper Shade of Blue-Collar” was written as an ode to all the blue-collar workers. Seals’ grandfather was a Kentucky sharecropper and coal miner and his grandma worked on the farm. His dad drove a coal mining truck and worked as a crane operator for GM until he retired. His mother cleaned houses for a living. He comes from a long line of hard workers and he’s proud of that.
“Thank God for those men and women out there who aren’t afraid of getting their hands dirty,” Brady Seals proudly stated. “We couldn’t do this thing without you. This one’s for you!”
“...Under all 10 fingernails
We gotta a lot of dirt and grease
Before that sun comes rollin' up
We're up and rollin' up our sleeves
Got some farmers tans and calloused hands
Out here we folks work and play hard
Until way up in the night
And we got bloody busted knuckles
From the wrenches and the fights
Hangin' buck skin tough and we don't give up
Got some John Deere Green plowin' up the land
Black stove in the kitchen brownin' biscuits in a pan
We don't eat on white linen but we know we're truly blessed
Can I get Amen from some real rednecks?
Whoa whoa, once'st you get back in a holler
You get a deeper shade of blue-collar…”
