Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Working hard to make a living

Bringing shelter from the rain

A father's son left to carry on

Blue denim in his veins

Oh, oh, oh, he's a working class man

[Verse 2]

Well he's a steel town disciple

He's a legend of his kind

He's running like a cyclone

Across the wild mid western sky

Oh, oh, oh, he's a working class man

[Verse 3]

He believes in God and Elvis

He gets out when he can

He did his time in Vietnam

Still mad at uncle sam

He's a simple man, with a heart of gold

In a complicated land

Oh, he's a working class man

[Verse 4]

Well he loves a little woman

Someday he'll make his wife

Saving all the overtime

For the one love of his life

He ain't worried about tomorrow

'Cause he just made up his mind

Life's too short for burning bridges

Take it one day at a time

Oh, oh, oh, he's a working class man

Oh, oh, oh, he's a working class man

[Verse 5]

Oh, yeah

Yes, he is

Well, he's a working class man

Oh

I tell you, he's a working class man

[Verse 6]

Oh, I tell you, he's a working class man

I can tell you, he's a working class man

I tell you, he's a working class man

I tell you, he's a working class man

I tell you, he's a working class man
