Common Man's Train Of Thought

There's a cowboy in the saddle with his throat all full of dust

And a waitress in Seattle fed up and about to bust

There's a trucker leavin' Raleigh with a thousand miles to cross

Each one of them is ridin' on the common man's train of thought

Well, if you talk to a farmer and ask him how he feels

You'll find his views are similar to a salesman in Mobile

We got a nickel who won't listen and it's high time he got off

The gravy train and got on board the common man's train of thought

Who's gonna hear us? Who's gonna lead?

Who's gonna serve the people instead of their own greed?

Get your hands out of our pockets, you better listen when we talk

Get yourself a ticket on the common man's train of thought

Lord, sweat and the blood of a workin'

Man is the steam that drives the wheel

But he's always bein' short-changed by politicians' dirty deals

We gotta vote for an honest man, one that can't be bought

So, put an ear to the rail and listen

To the common man's train of thought

Who's gonna hear us? Who's gonna lead?

Who's gonna serve the people instead of their own greed?

Get your hands out of our pockets, you better listen when we talk

Get yourself a ticket on the common man's train of thought

Tell me, who's gonna hear us? Who's gonna lead?

Who's gonna serve the people instead of their own greed?

Get your hands out of our pockets, you better listen when we talk

Get yourself a ticket on the common man's train of thought

Well, get your hands out of our pockets

You better listen when we talk

Get yourself a ticket on the common man's train of thought
