Working Class Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Working hard to make a living
bringing shelter from the rain
a father, son left to carry on
blue denim in his vein
oh oh oh he's a working class man
well he's a steel time deciple
he's a legend of his kind
he's running like a psyclone
across the wild mid western sky
oh oh oh he's a working class man
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
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
oh yeah
yes he is
well he's a working class man
oh
ma ma . . . . . . . i tell you he's a working class man
