I agree he’s one of the nicest performers you’d want to meet. I met him at a gem fest in Morristown Tn. Got several pictures of him and me and my wife got to hang out with him
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.!!!!!!
@@sheila174 Just to clarify, the night in question there were about a dozen or so country stars traveling through that all happened to stop at the old truck stop. I KNOW Aaron Tippin lives east of Nashville. I don't know if he still does, but he used to have breakfast a few days a week at Uncle Pete's Truck Stop.
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 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.
Got my CDL a couple years back and was doing that for a bit. Now have a local delivery job that I enjoy, but it’s feeling like a bit of a dead end. At 35, I keep thinking it’s too late to get into a trade, but hearing you got into welding at 32 gives me hope. Maybe time to make the move! Seems like the trades need a lot of people who are dependable and want to work more than ever right now
Déjà Siku he makes songs about hard working people and back then you really had to bust your ass to make music and music videos plus at everyone of his concerts he assembles something for toys for tots
@Déjà Siku It don't matter how much money a country star makes.What you don't know is they spend endless hours in a recording studio.So next time... Why don't you Please show them some Total Respect?
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. !!
Show the 25 year old how you do it, and maybe the young workers won't be so bad. I understand some don't give a shit and just want to show up to work to get money instead of work, but as someone who's starting out, and wanting to learn more about my trade, I ain't got time for snobby old timers who won't share information but wanna complain about the help quality!
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.
Well said I am also a structural steel welder and I too have my good days and bad. But I wouldn't trade it for the world. I am proud to be a working man.
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
I was born in 1960 during the height of Vietnam when I was a teenager in the seventies you're right because country music in the 60s and 70s and 80s had a lot of steel guitar Merle Haggard said it best when the buck was still silver when the country was strong yes the seventies for us teenagers like the movie Matthew McConaughey Dazed and Confused that was our era back in the seventies I don't care if you were a cowboy or a rocker we all listen to classic country and classic rock those were the good old days
@BURNWANKENOBI I love the trade. To me, it's fun at times. We use everything from micrometers, lazers, and feeler gauges to torches and hammers and hydraulic presses. Each day, we repair something different.
We could also use the conditions that typified entry into the workforce in each of the preceding generations following World War II: the ability to earn a living wage in exchange for putting in 40 hours a week. That's a near-impossibility in today's economic environment, and that's largely a result of tax and fiscal policy embarked upon by every administration since Ronald Reagan.
Poeticexpressnz I agree completely I have a working woman's Ph.D I grew up on a farm started feeding chickens at 5. Worked hard in school. l got a academic scholarship went to college, then law school. I am the first in the office last to leave and all the ones that was born with silver spoons, who take the three hour lunches wonder why they were passed over for promotion time and time again and the farm girl gets it! They truly do not get it that's extremely sad.
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.
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.
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.
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.
There is a lot of money to be made out there. My daddy used to run a saw mill and my mama ran a sewing machine. She used to stitch my shoes up with that old machine. Sometimes I would help nail the soles back on to them. My dad was a mean bastard, but he done right be me and my sister and my brother. So did my mama.
I'm working on a phd now and academia is filled with completely detached from reality crybabies. This is my jam now, I have to finish and never look back
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
Started at 11 and working nights with my daddy then quit school at 15 and started a full time job and had three part time jobs with that one and at 18 took over the family business with my daddy's leadership to get me going ... ran it for 13 years until I answered the call to the ministry ....
Hell i’m 29. Been out here on the railroad since I was 18. Nothin but steel rail cars to climb up and down on from sun up to sun down. 11 years strong rail roadin and showin no sign of stoppin
It took some of y’all 11-14 years to start working. I hit the ground getting it n growling, working and running heavy Tonka equipment while in diapers in the sandbox.
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
Definitely this "younger generation" oh wait. I'm 26. That's me. I'm a truck driver, dad of 2 girls, the local mechanic, plumber, appliance tech, role model. Apparently though my age makes me a spoiled brat. Being a trucker I get tons of dirty looks from old sour men who are scared of being passed by the "younger generation"
Laziness doesn’t apply to a specific generation or age. Worthlessness knows no boundaries. I’ve known many older folks that aren’t worth the air they breathe.
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.
Darin South I am not "judging" you. But if you are a parent, you are doing your children a disservice by pretending to be proud of your status as working class. If "hard work" is all you've ever known, you would have listened more in class and done your homework, right?
Remembering 1992 ..who are you and what is your interest in my life ..I come from a poor family ..couldn't afford college and such ..unless your offering me something different just leave me be ..
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.
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.
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!!!
Yoo I was there wayne county fair ya came out with big boy toys as ya sang kids riding on 3 wheeler pedal bikie!! I yelled he'll yeah .. sheriffs came got me middle isle took me up to you sir!! Went on your tour bus ,... I could of had it sir!! You told me that's how I knew ya a marine!! My son one now!! Thank ya alot I grew up no dad no guidance, fought 50,000 and more to get my kids!! Slept in nov.dec. winter nepa!! I had tent kids came too check on me!!! Just time goes so fast bro.. I love you my kids very great full for!!
U could tell some folks that and could be referring to them with no one else around and they'd be like u right they are lazy as hell and never get it that's true as shit
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!
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.
*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.
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.
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 ...
Was working as a Freight Train Conductor until I was dismissed again all over some bullshit! I love working on the railroad and I'm damn good at it, but since they are furloughing everyone now and cutting jobs, I'm about to move on to the Maritime Industry and work on Tugboats and possibly Container Ships! So yeah I process this working mans PHD!!
I'm now a Deckhand and Assistant Engineer on the Moran Towing Corporation Tugboat Dorothy Moran! I made it to the Maritime Industry! I've already been promoted and I've only been here 6 months!
You get up every morning 'fore the sun comes up Toss a lunch box into a pickup truck A long hard day sure ain't much fun But you got to get it started if you want to get it done. You set your mind and roll up your sleeves You're workin' on a Working Man's Ph.D. With your heart and your hands and the sweat on your brow You build the things that really make the world go 'round If it works, if it runs, if it lasts for years You can bet your bottom dollar it was made right here With pride and honor and dignity From a man with a Working Man's Ph.D. Now, there ain't no shame in a job well done From driving a nail to driving a truck As a matter of fact, I'd like to set things straight A few more people should be pullin' their weight If you want a cram course in reality You get yourself a Working Man's Ph.D. When the quittin' whistle blows and the dust settles down There ain't no trophies or cheering crowds You'll face yourself at the end of the day And be damned proud of whatever you've made Can't hang it on the wall for the world to see But you've got yourself a Working Man's Ph.D. Now, there ain't no shame in a job well done From driving a nail to driving a truck As a matter of fact, I'd like to set things straight A few more people should be pullin' their weight If you want a cram course in reality You get yourself a Working Man's Ph.D.
I loved this song back in the early 1990s, back then I was doing concrete work and I weighed only 142 pounds and I used to run carrying 2 form panels at a time and they weighed 90 pounds each. Now I'm only in my mid 50s and for some reason I'm full of austio arthritis, wonder how that happened lol 😂
@MarcosBryant-gk1jv there's actually 3 that are in a tie for my favorites and they are, the working man's PhD, the song I wouldn't have it any other way, and the song you got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything.
I work At a pharmacy during the pandemic. Started in October 2020 and am still doing it. We lost a lot to corporate jobs, didn’t want the exposure risk. I have had to work a lot of overtime. And I love my job.
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.
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.
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!
Even true-er now! What with all the anti-work movement shit on all the social media sites does the new generation even know what it means to hold a job anymore?
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
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.
im 37 mowing hay on my 93yr old grandads cattle farm and songs like these always bring a proud tear to my eye
😂
I agree he’s one of the nicest performers you’d want to meet. I met him at a gem fest in Morristown Tn. Got several pictures of him and me and my wife got to hang out with him
I want my Country music Back like it was.😮😮
Damn proud to be part of the generation that grew up listening to this man!
Same
Me too. I didn't know this guy was so jacked! Good for him!
Hello ✋ Windy
Im Damn Proud To Be A Gen Z Kid Who Listens To Real Country, And Officially Has A Workin' Mans PHD :)
This will always be my favorite song of all time when inwas a kid I would stop anything I was doing to listen to this song
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.

This is truly an awesome story
Hard work keeps your feet where it rightly belongs, firm on the ground.

I’m growing up with the generation has crappy music. This kind of music is the bomb!
Yeah Laimey Wilson entertainer of the year? Jeez. What have they done to country? Taylor was bad enough 😪
Not sure I'd call any of them entertaining except Kacey Musgraves. She's got some funny ones. 😆
Aaron Tippin put on a hell of a show in IL way back. Glad I got to see him. Definitely entertaining to see him swing out of a jail cell on stage. 😆
Tippin is the man. Truly represents the American workin man.
Déjà Siku He grew up farming, he drove trucks, and has a commercial pilots license. I’d say he’s more of a working man than most.
@@Andrew-zu4kb You goddamned right
Yes he does
ironicly, the way he "works" in the video can be only classified as a "lazy ass"
David Skinner yes, yes we do. With two helicopters in the background pulling power lines in the background. With concrete work of some sort
Aaron Tippin is America . ❤️
.
Aaron Tippin is BOSS, and he isn't called the Hardest Working Man in Country music for no reason!!!
+Justin Harvey GOD DAMM RIGHT
I agree
Déjà Siku he makes songs about hard working people and back then you really had to bust your ass to make music and music videos plus at everyone of his concerts he assembles something for toys for tots
False advertising, maybe :-)
@Déjà Siku It don't matter how much money a country star makes.What you don't know is they spend endless hours in a recording studio.So next time... Why don't you Please show them some Total Respect?
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. !!
Crushed my spine hauling steel... Got mine 🧾
Damn right brother screw this new generation
Show the 25 year old how you do it, and maybe the young workers won't be so bad. I understand some don't give a shit and just want to show up to work to get money instead of work, but as someone who's starting out, and wanting to learn more about my trade, I ain't got time for snobby old timers who won't share information but wanna complain about the help quality!
You go kick ass
Go for old timers yes some young people do wanna learn just gotta be taught .
We need more music like this. Take pride in values.
This is real country music. Thank you Aaron tippin
This song is for my dad 40 years at utility maintenance. Way to go dad
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.
Shake it ,,, Walk it ...
Be safe, ventilate, PPE.
-Guy that cares bout the working man and science.
Well said I am also a structural steel welder and I too have my good days and bad. But I wouldn't trade it for the world. I am proud to be a working man.

This song came out while I was serving as a Marine, now years later working as an industrial Millwright I still love it. America 🇺🇲
I work at a mill, the millwrights always amaze me how they can fix anything

@DennysCountryLife You're welcome, my millwright brother. God bless you and your dad. 🇺🇸
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.

go in the military you learn quick lol

I agree completely I have a working woman's Ph.D I grew up on a farm started feeding chickens at 5.
Worked hard in school.
l got a academic scholarship went to college, then law school.
I am the first in the office last to leave and all the ones that was born with silver spoons, who take the three hour lunches wonder why they were passed over for promotion time and time again and the farm girl gets it!
They truly do not get it that's extremely sad.
LeeLee 34 you gotta get it started if you wanna get it done... My new motto.
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.
back when country music was COUNTRY music not the crap on today
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.
Facts
Because they put baby hair in the grey and bald error. Which is a beautiful place down here in the working mans territory

Great song. And yes a few more people should be pulling their weight. Worked pipe fitting for 35. Damned proud of it. I know I left my mark.
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.
I built houses for 30 years ,Winter,Summer,fall and Spring The bill collectors don't care where you get it ,just get it done.

This song came out around the time I was getting my welding business going, and it's kinda been my theme song ever since.
Wish more people cared about working than money. I love this man. Miss that country.
Aaron tippin is a great Singer 2 thumbs Up 🏆
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.
I'm gonna have to call bullshit on that.
You don't remember anything before the 4th grade? Did you have to re-learn your colors?
Yup, this is a garbage comment.
You have not earned "I've payed my dues" status yet young lady
@@sergeantspeed5941 no I did the same in sixth grade,it's called hard work
Hats off to all my fellow graduates, apprentices & scholars.!
This is my favorite Aaron tippin song for sure. Great lyrics and every damn word of it is true.
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!
He looks ripped💪
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.
If you started at 16 and had 20 years that means you retired at 36?
Déjà Siku I hear oil rigs pay out 6 figures easy.
NO > Kidding clyde.
There is a lot of money to be made out there. My daddy used to run a saw mill and my mama ran a sewing machine. She used to stitch my shoes up with that old machine. Sometimes I would help nail the soles back on to them. My dad was a mean bastard, but he done right be me and my sister and my brother. So did my mama.
Ronald Stonecipher he prolly is them boys are bad to the bone and they get paid like a mother fcckr but most guys won't last till lunch the first day
Got to love that Texan accent great talent he has.
I'm working on a phd now and academia is filled with completely detached from reality crybabies. This is my jam now, I have to finish and never look back
So underated
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
Amen! I also started at 14 and still go strong at 56, hoping for 10 more years!
I'm 34, started at 14 too
Started at 11 and working nights with my daddy then quit school at 15 and started a full time job and had three part time jobs with that one and at 18 took over the family business with my daddy's leadership to get me going ... ran it for 13 years until I answered the call to the ministry ....
Hell i’m 29. Been out here on the railroad since I was 18. Nothin but steel rail cars to climb up and down on from sun up to sun down. 11 years strong rail roadin and showin no sign of stoppin
It took some of y’all 11-14 years to start working. I hit the ground getting it n growling, working and running heavy Tonka equipment while in diapers in the sandbox.
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
this younger generation will never understand working 16 sometimes 20 hour days
Definitely this "younger generation" oh wait. I'm 26. That's me.
I'm a truck driver, dad of 2 girls, the local mechanic, plumber, appliance tech, role model.
Apparently though my age makes me a spoiled brat.
Being a trucker I get tons of dirty looks from old sour men who are scared of being passed by the "younger generation"
Laziness doesn’t apply to a specific generation or age. Worthlessness knows no boundaries. I’ve known many older folks that aren’t worth the air they breathe.
God bless you and your family 💕🇺🇸👍
words well spoken
Im 61 years old, started working in the oilfield at 12 years old,and drove a truck for 35 years, no participation trophies here .
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.
THATS all I have is a working mans Phd. .damn proud
Why would you be proud of underachieving? Are you actually happy that I make single-day stock trades involving more money than you earn in a year?
I am who i am ..hard work is all Ive ever known so don't judge me ..I don't have degree's in stock trading or whatever..
Darin South I am not "judging" you. But if you are a parent, you are doing your children a disservice by pretending to be proud of your status as working class. If "hard work" is all you've ever known, you would have listened more in class and done your homework, right?
Remembering 1992 ..who are you and what is your interest in my life ..I come from a poor family ..couldn't afford college and such ..unless your offering me something different just leave me be ..
+Remembering 1992 You do realize no one on here believes your bullshit "I'm rich" comment LOL
a big thumbs up. more ppl here in the USA need to start listening to this song. too many beggars in this country
Love me some workin man phd
That's for Damn sure ALLOT more people needs a working man's PHD. period.
Amen. Ain’t that the truth
Leonard Gilbreath yo
Your right about that
You got that right, there's a whole truckload of truth in this song.
Déjà Siku yeah but he wasn't always rich.
I've talked to him twice on the phone about guns .... love the music
Jack of all trades and a master of none.
Best Aaron Tippin song ever. My favorite song by him. This song makes alot of sense.
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.
I loved himm in concert at. ponderosa park. So much energy and a great voice 1:40
I'm working on my PhD this songs tells the truth about real men working and being physical everyday, being proud about it.
can't hang on the wall for the world to see but you got yourself a working man's phd
Aron S always found that funny, I literally hang it on the wall, do siding and gutters 40+ a week
IF IT WORKS IF IT RUNS IF IT LAST 4 YEARS YOU CAN BET YOUR BOTTOM DOLLAR IT WAS MADE RIGHT HERE
(for) not the number
not really years go by fast so no its not
Should be "it's made rite cheer"
'A few more people should be pulling their weight.' No truer words have every been spoken.
This needs to be played at schools today especially college. I wish the US still made quality products instead of importing cheap crap.
What do you admire most about Aaron
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.
love to see him perform again ..... he was awesome everytime i saw him
This is who should get stimulus money. The working people only.
Aron Tipton for president
Very funny.😅
Spartanburg SC Men know how to work, know how to rock, know how to play, and know how to love!!! Woooooohoooooo!
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!!!
I listen to this song everyday before work. Workin on my Workin Man's Ph.D. Wouldn't have it any other way.

Lynn Lynn the irony....
U could tell some folks that and could be referring to them with no one else around and they'd be like u right they are lazy as hell and never get it that's true as shit
Honestly
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!
love this song
Metal roofer here alot of morning it's what gets me started
This Is One Awesome Song.
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.
*WORKING MAN'S Ph.D. / AARON TIPPIN* (RCA single 62520)

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 Mr. Aaron Tippin and his music! Good people. Shalom Y'all from Kentucky!
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.
84 old with 55 years on the job.
I know what he is talking about.
😊
This is music I grew up on and never forgot. I could care less for new stuff
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 ...
Was working as a Freight Train Conductor until I was dismissed again all over some bullshit! I love working on the railroad and I'm damn good at it, but since they are furloughing everyone now and cutting jobs, I'm about to move on to the Maritime Industry and work on Tugboats and possibly Container Ships! So yeah I process this working mans PHD!!
I'm now a Deckhand and Assistant Engineer on the Moran Towing Corporation Tugboat Dorothy Moran! I made it to the Maritime Industry! I've already been promoted and I've only been here 6 months!
You get up every morning 'fore the sun comes up
Toss a lunch box into a pickup truck
A long hard day sure ain't much fun
But you got to get it started if you want to get it done.
You set your mind and roll up your sleeves
You're workin' on a Working Man's Ph.D.
With your heart and your hands and the sweat on your brow
You build the things that really make the world go 'round
If it works, if it runs, if it lasts for years
You can bet your bottom dollar it was made right here
With pride and honor and dignity
From a man with a Working Man's Ph.D.
Now, there ain't no shame in a job well done
From driving a nail to driving a truck
As a matter of fact, I'd like to set things straight
A few more people should be pullin' their weight
If you want a cram course in reality
You get yourself a Working Man's Ph.D.
When the quittin' whistle blows and the dust settles down
There ain't no trophies or cheering crowds
You'll face yourself at the end of the day
And be damned proud of whatever you've made
Can't hang it on the wall for the world to see
But you've got yourself a Working Man's Ph.D.
Now, there ain't no shame in a job well done
From driving a nail to driving a truck
As a matter of fact, I'd like to set things straight
A few more people should be pullin' their weight
If you want a cram course in reality
You get yourself a Working Man's Ph.D.
I loved this song back in the early 1990s, back then I was doing concrete work and I weighed only 142 pounds and I used to run carrying 2 form panels at a time and they weighed 90 pounds each. Now I'm only in my mid 50s and for some reason I'm full of austio arthritis, wonder how that happened lol 😂
@MarcosBryant-gk1jv well I like that he sang songs supporting the working class citizens
@MarcosBryant-gk1jv there's actually 3 that are in a tie for my favorites and they are, the working man's PhD, the song I wouldn't have it any other way, and the song you got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything.
@MarcosBryant-gk1jv yeah that is a good one too. My favorite lyric in that song is when he says that heaven without her feels like hell tonight.
@MarcosBryant-gk1jv walking my dog in the wilderness, saving baby wildlife, growing my garden and raising a few lambs
I work At a pharmacy during the pandemic. Started in October 2020 and am still doing it.
We lost a lot to corporate jobs, didn’t want the exposure risk.
I have had to work a lot of overtime.
And I love my job.
Grocery store during the pandemic still working on🤟
Working for a living is a way of life for me, should be everybodys attitude
My dad had a working man's Ph.D. 43 years in a factory. Worked to provide for his family. I try to emulate him in my work
Hello ✋ chessie
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.
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.
Alot of people forget we are the ones that make their world go round.
35 years in the Roofing trade I have a couple PhDs! Love working songs like this!!!
A workin mans mustache!
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!
Even true-er now! What with all the anti-work movement shit on all the social media sites does the new generation even know what it means to hold a job anymore?
you've got to get it started, if you want to get it done. exactly right. don't procrastinate.
I think that he looked like the G I Joe of country music. and a awesome singer. Kool man!
THIS IS REAL COUNTRY MUSIC
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
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.
Love this song!!
