Blue Collar Man (Long Nights)

Give me a job, give me security

Give me a chance to survive

I'm just a poor soul in the unemployment line

My God, I'm hardly alive

My mother and father, my wife and my friends

I see them laugh in my face

But I've got the power and I've got the will

I'm not a charity case

I'll take those long nights, impossible odds

Keepin' my eye to the keyhole

If it takes all that to be just what I am

Well, I'm gonna be a blue collar man

Make me an offer that I can't refuse

Make me a respectable man

This is my last time in the unemployment line

So like it or not

I'll take those long nights, impossible odds

Keepin' my back to the wall

If it takes all that to be just what I am

Well, I'm gonna be a blue collar man

Keepin' my mind on a better life

Where happiness is only a heartbeat away

Paradise, can it be all I heard it was?

I close my eyes and maybe I'm already there

Ooh, ooh ooh yeah

I'll take those long nights, impossible odds

Keepin' my back to the wall

All that to be just what I am

Well, I'm gonna be a blue collar man

You don't understand

I'll take those long nights, impossible odds

Keepin' my eye to the keyhole

If it takes all that to be just who I am

Well, I vow to be a blue collar, gotta be a blue collar

Gonna be a blue collar man

Hey

Believe it
