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 he's a working class man He's a steel town disciple He's a legend of his time He's flew in like a cyclone Organized the picket line 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 One day they'll share their lives 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 he's a working class man He works hard to make a living Bringing shelter from the rain His father's son left to carry on Blue denim in his veins 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 he's a working class man
