im 37 mowing hay on my 93yr old grandads cattle farm and songs like these always bring a proud tear to my eye

I am not a "working man." and I did not spend my life doing hard physical labor, However, I grew up on a farm and I did my share of manure shoveling, critter chasing, hay baling, rock picking, and the like. I am now a retired public school teacher, and I worked very hard at that. Now I am old, kinda broke down, and tired, but I still work every day. Every morning when my feet hit the floor, I think about my tasks for the day and say to myself, "You gotta get it started if you wanna get it down." If I need some motivation, I pull up this song and listen to it. It never fails to get me moving. Thank you, Aaron Tippin.

23 years old, driving for 3 years n this song makes me feel like a damn bull hauler ridin down 75😂 thank you for this gem Mr.tippin

Semi-Truck / Trailer mechanic for over 35 years. Stiff, sore, tired of the B.S. but i still outproduce any 25 year old spoiled kid i've worked with. When my trucks hit the road, the owner knows i did it right ! Workin mans P.H.D. !!

Aaron is one of the NICEST PEOPLE I have ever met!!! I first met him during his USO tour BEFORE his first album was released while serving in OPERATION DESERT STORM. Since then I have run into Aaron more times than I can count, literally. I have shared many meals with him and a few with his son. He is EXTREMELY approachable and always takes time to meet people, shake hands, sign autographs, take pictures, and pray with any who ask. After I got out of the Marine Corps and started trucking I ran into Aaron at Mont Eagle Truck Stop. I was taking a quick break on a rainy, foggy night/morning. Aaron and a bunch of country stars came into the restaurant. There were 6 people in the place before they came in. When I saw him I smiled a little remembering the concert he did for the troops. He walked right up to me, put his hand out, and said "Glad to see you made it home alright.". I asked him if he k e who I was or if he was saying that because of my haircut. He told he EXACTLY where and when he met me and basically what we said to one another. I was floored. Then Aaron called the others over to personally introduce them to me. I hauled cars for a living. Almost 20 years, and met a hell of a lot of celebrities over those years. Some were polite, some nice, some friendly, many were assholes. Talk shit about him and you are doing a disservice. The man is TRULY DOWN HOME. His former jobs run a gambit most would hate, but all were hard work. They include welder, coal miner, truck driver, dock worker, commercial pilot, and many more. He loved singing in a band with his buddies, and fortunately it paid off for him. Don't hate on someone because they are famous AND REAL.!!!!!!

I have done many jobs. From being a cop to driving a semi truck coast to coast, to working armed security, to being a farmer. Never had a job I didn’t love and busted my ass to get done!!!

I’m growing up with the generation has crappy music. This kind of music is the bomb!

Damn proud to be part of the generation that grew up listening to this man!

This is real country music. Thank you Aaron tippin

I'm 58 years old. This is one of my favorite songs. Worked on farms starting at about age 14. Done that till I was 19. Worked at mobile home plant from 19 to 32. At 32 started welding still welding today. We need more arrow tiptons today for sure.

This song is for my dad 40 years at utility maintenance. Way to go dad

Aaron Tippin is BOSS, and he isn't called the Hardest Working Man in Country music for no reason!!!

Aaron Tippin is America . ❤️ .

When Country wasn’t pop,I’ve been listening to country since I was kid in the 70s

We need more music like this. Take pride in values.

I love that line "If you want a crash course in reality" That is what a lot of these young people need these days, reality and hard work.

This song came out while I was serving as a Marine, now years later working as an industrial Millwright I still love it. America 🇺🇲

My husband worked almost 40 years at some steel mill and he finally had a break to retire. Always telling it was backbreaking work and i am proud of him.

Tippin is the man. Truly represents the American workin man.

lt may be blue collar music but it sure fires me up rolling down the highway driving my 18 Wheeler across this great Nation of ours

Welder here. Steelwork is tough, dangerous, difficult and slow. The steel fights you every step of the way during fit-up. I have good days and bad days, but I love what I do and wouldn’t trade it for any office job.

Mr. Aaron Tippin, I have a PHD from PIU! That’s a professional hole digger from Parris Island University! Home of the United States Marine Corps! And yes sir we pulled a lot more than our weight! SEMPER FIDELIS FOREVER! GOD BLESS AMERICA 🇺🇸! OOHRAH

Saw Aaron yesterday the 22nd, in Wichita, KS. HELL of a show and a damn good performer. In case he sees this, I was the one in the front row with the cowboy hat with the pins and Waylon Jennings Tshirt.

"A long hard day sure ain't much fun but you gotta get it started if you wanna get it done." God damn if that ain't the truth.

This song came out around the time I was getting my welding business going, and it's kinda been my theme song ever since.

Oilfeild drilling rig hand 8 yrs , got my workin mans phd , thanks Aaron Tippin for standing up for us workin men all across the world , God bless the workin man

This is an amazing song. I am 16 going on 17 and have had a job for as long as I can remember. My dad and I started a land scraping company when I was in the fourth grade. It is so true how more people need to pull there own weight.

This is my favorite Aaron tippin song for sure. Great lyrics and every damn word of it is true.

cross country trucker here without us there is no industry...truckin baby BARP BARP!!

a big thumbs up. more ppl here in the USA need to start listening to this song. too many beggars in this country

Why can't there be more artist like this!

Best Aaron Tippin song ever. My favorite song by him. This song makes alot of sense.

He still looks this good at 61 years old. He sure stays in shape. Most people his age let's themselves go. But not him. Looking great Aaron!

Got to love that Texan accent great talent he has.

i first heard this song when I was 22 years old. at the time I was completing my masters in electrical engineering. it gave me a huge wakeup call. i was just listening to the garbage my teachers were telling me and not learning anything about the REAL world. so i got in my truck and drove three states down and got a job as a construction labourer. happy to say i have been working there now for 15 years and am looking forward to finally moving out of my parents house thanks constant hard work. keep telling it like it is, mr. tippin sir!

My uncle drove a truck for years with Zoomstein. He retired when the logs went digital. He loved it. My brother drove for six years and had to stop. He is really short, and his knees got bad from getting in and out. My dad worked many jobs. His last was 19 years in the coal mines. He had a bad car accident in 87 and had to go on disability. Up until last year he still had a garden, mowed his yard, and whatever needed to be done. Dad is 90 he taught us to work hard and do it right. My son-in-law is 25 and works six hour shifts at the Dollar General store. He is exhausted and has to lay down and have a short nap when he gets home. I dont understand. Its like they feel entitled. Theyre expecting a baby in July. He wont be able to handle the needs of a baby

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.

Aaron tippin is a great Singer 2 thumbs Up 🏆

Man...for some reason, I can CLEARLY remember this video from when I was just 6 years old. While momma cleaned the house, she always had CMT on TV playing all the new videos, lol.

Hats off to all my fellow graduates, apprentices & scholars.!

love to see him perform again ..... he was awesome everytime i saw him

THATS all I have is a working mans Phd. .damn proud

Love Mr. Aaron Tippin and his music! Good people. Shalom Y'all from Kentucky!

Im 61 years old, started working in the oilfield at 12 years old,and drove a truck for 35 years, no participation trophies here .

I'm working on my PhD this songs tells the truth about real men working and being physical everyday, being proud about it.

I retired 4 years ago after almost 20 years in the oilfield I got my PhD at the age of 16 when I stepped on the floor of that drilling rig.

I broadcast this song often, and was so privileged so see him sing this live in concert July of 2022. How? Because my fabulous and amazing millwright at an orr mine made it happen, and drove us there on a beautiful Harley he customized perfectly!!!

Wish more people cared about working than money. I love this man. Miss that country.

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.

That's for Damn sure ALLOT more people needs a working man's PHD. period.

Spartanburg SC Men know how to work, know how to rock, know how to play, and know how to love!!! Woooooohoooooo!

I love Aaron and his music I have had the privilege of meeting him when I was a kid I had cancer and my make a wish was to see him I still love his music

When you work that OT every day and go to that 2nd job after that and then go home and work on your house to make it your home you will under stand what this song is all about

im 37 been at it since I was 14. one back surgery one tore up shoulder and every damn joint in my body aches already but I get up every damn morning and get it done

Seen him with sammy Kershaw, ray collin, an justin moore back in may at bbt arena in ky.... he sung this song !! Wasnt a person sitting he had everybody on their feet !! He can still rock it out being as old as he is ... love him an His music ...

'A few more people should be pulling their weight.' No truer words have every been spoken.

Jack of all trades and a master of none.

I've talked to him twice on the phone about guns .... love the music

I grew up in the age of kids who worked and went to school at the same time. I graduated high school with a full time job in a warehouse. I've spent 33 yrs running a forklift. And I'm a proud blue collar guy who's worked hard all my life.

Alot of people forget we are the ones that make their world go round.

just did a 72 hour week in a factory. I got my phd

We learn nothing to hard if ya put your mind to it. Proud of holding down two part times jobs for over 15 years. All of us are not afraid to pitch in or a task beneath us to make a living. Two brothers and one of my sister worked at a meat packing plant.

I remember this song back when I was working a home maker in Athens TN for 4.75 an hour God bless the working man and women 😊🍻🍺🍺

can't hang on the wall for the world to see but you got yourself a working man's phd

America needs a little more Aaron Tippin and less Kardashians

Country is not my usual cup of tea but Aaron Tippin is the man.

I loved himm in concert at. ponderosa park. So much energy and a great voice 1:40

I listen to this song everyday before work. Workin on my Workin Man's Ph.D. Wouldn't have it any other way.

THIS IS REAL COUNTRY MUSIC

He's an icon for damn sure a man among men

I was born in 1994 and proud of it. This is one of my top 3 favorite songs, my generation excluding me and a few i grew up with just dont know how to work though. Not the most religious but yall pray for em.

I can't wait to see two of my favorite singer's in concert in just over 1 month, at the Kansas State Fair. GO AARON TIPPIN

So underated

This is music I grew up on and never forgot. I could care less for new stuff

35 years in the Roofing trade I have a couple PhDs! Love working songs like this!!!

Love me some workin man phd

This Is One Awesome Song.

Great song. Its so damn easy to respect someone who goes to work every day. I have struggled my whole life respecting men who dont work. I cant help it.

I remember listening to this when I was a kid! I thought it was a cool song/video. Now, as an adult, I understand the message. Plus, Aaron was HOT A.F. in this mv! Double plus! 🔥

Aron Tipton for president

Working for a living is a way of life for me, should be everybodys attitude

I miss this kind of country 😢.

I'm 32 years old and I work at the Armed Forces Retirement Home in the food service department (in fact, Aaron Tippin and I share the same birthday). I know quite a few people who need to hear this song, including one in particular who only keeps his eyes on his watch and barely gets anything done.

If there were a higher degree than PHD on work history or country music I’d say I own that and so does Aaron. Been pulling my weight and more than my weight for longer than some folks and less than sone folks.

*WORKING MAN'S Ph.D. / AARON TIPPIN* (RCA single 62520) (Aaron Tippin/Philip Douglas/Bobby Boyd) Sony ATV Songs LLC/Universal Music Careers, BMI/BMG Songs/Mickey Hilter Music, ASCAP This video was built around an outback tour stop, with a little over half the footage devoted to construction of the party booth that will be the gig site toward the end.

Love this song!!

I worked unloading trucks by hand when I was in my 40s, outworked a couple of twenty-year-olds. They got pissy about it and fed one of the bosses BS. He canned me. Two weeks later they got canned because they couldn't get the job done. My immediate boss said that he wished I could come back cause I was one of the best workers on his team. Couldn't do the work now, disabled because of a bad back, but if I could I would. Hard work is good for the soul.

Taking pride in what you do. Knowing your work is the best because you did it right the first time even if it takes a little longer.

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.

A workin mans mustache!

Again never ever be out there doing what you can and not be proud of it if you do your best. My third brother went to learn how to work doing house building & one class he put up dry walling and teacher was amazed how he knew what to do, reply my dad showed me how. Teacher told him you're in wrong class because I can't teach you nothing else. So proud of him.

Even more true today than when the song was new. It doesn't even matter what line of work you're in. I'm a truck driver, my wife is a nurse, we have friends and family in everything from construction to law enforcement. We all see the same thing-about 1 in 10 young people entering the work force today actually have any kind of work ethic. It's shameful but, so many "parents" from my generation just gave their children whatever they wanted, instead of making them earn it. These kids, no matter what kind of education they have, are in no way prepared for the real world!

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

these old videos crack me up

Thank you for that song Aaron, after working with my hands for 53 years, I reckon I got one of them WM PHD s !! And you don't hang it on a wall, You hang it on your HEART !! Coz your sleeves are all rolled up, or cut off !!! Greetings from " Down Under" Oz.

84 old with 55 years on the job. I know what he is talking about. 😊

IF IT WORKS IF IT RUNS IF IT LAST 4 YEARS YOU CAN BET YOUR BOTTOM DOLLAR IT WAS MADE RIGHT HERE
