Working hard to make a living   Bringing shelter from the rain   A father's son left to carry on   Blue denim in his vein   Oh he's a working class man      Well he's a steel town diciple   He's a legend of his kind   He's running like a cyclone   Across the wild mid western sky   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   Cos he just made up his mind   Life's too short for burning bridges   Take it one day at a time   Oh he's a working class man
